Exegesis
The proverb features two parallel participial-result clauses with notzer {נֹצֵר | nō-ṣer} ‘one who guards’ and shomer {שֹׁמֵ֖ר | šō-mēr} ‘one who protects’ each followed by its object (te'enah {תְּאֵנָה | tə-ʾē-nāh} ‘fig tree’, adonav {אֲדֹנָיו | ʾă-ḏō-nāw} ‘his master’) and imperfect verbs yokhal {יֹאכַל | yō-ḥăl} ‘will eat’ and yekubad {יְכֻבָּד | yə-ḵub-bāḏ} ‘will be honored’.
