your confidence
The fleshy part of the lower back or loin; by extension, the loins as the seat of physical strength. Figuratively, it is used for inner self-confidence or reliance (i.e., a sense of inward security or hope), and negatively for folly or lack of sound judgment. The word can refer both to the anatomical region and to abstract qualities associated with that part (strength, confidence, or, conversely, self-delusion or folly), depending on context.

SIBI-P1 Translation H3689-08
in your loin-strength
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְ + masculine singular construct noun + 2ms pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כֶּסֶל derives from a root meaning firmness or robustness, referring concretely to the loin as the seat of bodily strength and metaphorically to inner confidence. The construct singular with 2ms suffix and prefixed בְ is rendered "in your," preserving both possession and prepositional force. |
