Exegesis

The first clause uses the construct phrase mipri {מִפְּרִי | mî-prî} ‘from the fruit’ linked to pi-ʾiš {פִי־אִישׁ | pî-ʾîš} ‘mouth of a man’ to indicate that speech yields results.

In contextProverbs 12:14

From the fruit of a man's mouth one is satisfied with good, and the recompense of a person's hands is returned to him.
