It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Cross-reference

Proverbs 14:30 pairs a tranquil heart with life to the flesh and envy with rotting bones — matching the body imagery and inner-state theme exactly.

Proverbs 15:30 says good news 'refreshes the bones' — the same phrase used here for the effect of fearing God on physical health.

Proverbs 16:24 calls gracious words 'sweetness to the soul and health to the body' — a parallel image of refreshment, now tied to speech rather than wisdom itself.

In Isaiah 58:11, the same promise of strengthened bones appears, linking obedience to physical refreshment and divine guidance.

Isaiah 66:14 also speaks of bones flourishing like grass, echoing the theme of physical blessing from God's favor.

Isaiah 1:6 Contrast
