Exegesis
The sequence of yarun {יָר֥וּן | yārûn} ‘will rejoice’ (Qal imperfect) followed by ve-sameach {וְשָׂמֵחַ | wə-sā-mê-ḥa} ‘and is glad’ (Piel participle) emphasizes both the future celebration and ongoing state of joy. The Hebrew syntax, using ve to mark contrast and twofold predicates for the righteous, underscores the moral teaching that sin ensnares while righteousness yields sustained joy.
Root and etymology
š-m-ḥshin–mem–chet
“to rejoice or be glad”
In context — Proverbs 29:6
