Exegesis
The prepositional phrase mipri {מִפְּרִ֣י | mîn-pə-rî} ‘from the fruit’ immediately merges with the construct chain pi-ish {פִי־אִ֭ישׁ | pî-îš} ‘of a man’s mouth’ to establish cause, realized in the imperfect verb tishba {תִּשְׂבַּ֣ע | tis̆ba‘} ‘will be satisfied’ governing betno {בִּטְנ֑וֹ | biṭnô} ‘his belly.’
In context — Proverbs 18:20
From the fruit of a man’s mouth, his belly will be satisfied; from the yield of his lips, he will be filled.
