Exegesis
In the first clause, the noun phrase ish {אִ֣ישׁ | ʾîš} ‘man’ combines with the construct emunot {אֱ֭מוּנוֹת | ʾĕmûnôṯ} ‘faithfulness’ in an attributive genitive, followed by the verbless predicate rav-berakhot {רַב־בְּרָכ֑וֹת | raḇ-berāḵôṯ} ‘abundant blessings.’
In context — Proverbs 28:20
A man of faithfulness will have abundant blessings, but he who hastens to become rich will not go unpunished .
