Exegesis
The second half mirrors this structure through tevuat {תְּבוּאַ֖ת | təḇû’āṯ} ‘the yield’ linked to sefatav {שְׂפָתָ֣יו | səfātāyw} ‘of his lips’ and the imperfect yisba {יִשְׂבָּֽע | yiśba‘} ‘will be filled.’ This synthetic parallelism, underscored by the shift from the feminine tishba with the feminine noun betno to the masculine yisba with the implied subject, highlights how the construct chains and imperfect verb pairs reinforce the wisdom theme that words produce tangible satisfaction.
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.
