Exegesis
The verse opens with taavah {תַּאֲוָה | taʾāvâh} ‘desire’ as the topic of the first clause, followed by the Niphal perfect nîhyâh {נִהְיָה | nîhyâh} ‘is fulfilled,’ indicating a completed state.
In context — Proverbs 13:19
A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul ; but for fools, turning away from evil is abomination .
