Exegesis
The Qal imperfect yehdof {יֶהְדֹּף | ye·hdōf} ‘he will repel’ resumes the subject YHWH, highlighting decisive divine action. This chiastic structure contrasts God’s provision with His removal of the wicked’s appetite.
In context — Proverbs 10:3
The LORD will not let the nefesh of the righteous go hungry, but He will repel the craving of the wicked.
