Exegesis
The Hiphil imperfect yafik {יָפִיק | yā-phîq} ‘he obtains’ governs ratzon {רָצוֹן | rā-ṣôn} ‘favor’, with the prepositional phrase me-YHWH {מֵיְהוָה | mê-Yə-hō-wāh} marking divine source.
In context — Proverbs 12:2
A good person obtains favor from the LORD , but the LORD condemns a man of wicked schemes.
