Exegesis
The conjunction vav {וּ | ū} then introduces a contrasting clause built around the participle uboteach {וּבוֹטֵ֖חַ | ū-ḇō-tēaḥ} ‘one who trusts’, with the preposition al {עַל־ | ʿal} ‘upon’ linking directly to YHWH {יְהוָ֣ה | Yə-hō-wāh} to emphasize divine trust.
Root and etymology
b-t-ḥbet–tav–chet
“to trust”
In context — Proverbs 28:25
A person of greedy desire stirs up strife, but the one who trusts in the LORD will be enriched.
