Exegesis
The verse begins with a sequence of gul {גול | gûl} ‘he rejoiced’, gil {גִּ֣יל | gîl} ‘rejoice’, followed by the imperfects yigul {יגול | yigûl} and yagil {יָ֭גִיל | yāgîl} ‘he will rejoice’, an emphatic intensification pattern.
In context — Proverbs 23:24
The father of a righteous one will rejoice greatly, and he who begets a wise one will rejoice in him.
