Exegesis
In the parallel clause, shemuah tovah {שְׁמוּעָה טוֹבָה | šĕ-mu-ʿāh ṭō-vāh} ‘good report’ serves as nominal subject of the piel imperfect tedashen {תְּדַשֶּׁן | tə-ḏa-šên} ‘makes fat,’ with atzem {עָצֶם | ʿā-ṣem} ‘bone’ as the object. The chiastic pairing of sensory delight and positive information underscores their parallel outcomes on inner wellbeing and structural strength.
Root and etymology
ע־צ־ם

In context — Proverbs 15:30
