Exegesis
The verse begins with the participial subject phrase oved {עֹבֵד | ʿō-wēḏ} ‘one who works’ modified by admato {אַדְמָתוֹ | ʾaḏ-mā-ṯō} ‘his land’, a construction typical of Hebrew proverbial parallelism.
In context — Proverbs 12:11
The one who works his land will be satisfied with bread, but whoever pursues empty things is lacking heart.
