Exegesis
The vav conjunction then links a parallel clause ve-nefesh charutzim tədûššān {וְנֶפֶשׁ חָרֻצִים תְּדֻשָּׁן | wə-nep̄š ḥārûṣîm tədûššān}, where the construct chain nefesh charutzim expresses ‘soul of the diligent ones’. The Pual imperfect tədûššān ‘will be enriched’ agrees in third person feminine singular with nefesh and underscores passive reception of reward. The chiastic parallelism contrasts unmet desire with fulfilled diligence.
