Exegesis
In the first, oved {עֹבֵד | ʿô-ḇêḏ} ‘working’ takes admato {אַדְמָתוֹ | ’aḏ-mā-tô} ‘his land’ as object, followed by yisba {יִשְׂבַּע | yiš-bā‘} ‘will be satisfied’ governing lechem {לָחֶם | lā-ḥem} ‘bread’.
In context — Proverbs 28:19
One who works his land will be satisfied with bread, but one who pursues worthless pursuits will be satisfied with poverty .
