Exegesis
The conjunction wə {וְ֝ | wə} introduces a parallel clause that begins with einecha {עֵינֶ֗יךָ | ʿê-nê-ḵā} ‘your eyes’ linked to derachai {דְּרָכַ֥י | də-rā-ḵāy} ‘my ways’ and concludes with the jussive tirtsenah {תִּרְצֶנָה | ti-ṛə-ṣe-nāh} ‘let them delight’, contrasting internal devotion with external emotional response. The paragogic nun in the jussive intensifies the volitional call to sustained engagement.
In context — Proverbs 23:26
My son, give me your heart , and let your eyes delight in my ways.
