Exegesis
The final clause employs the passive verb yedushan {יְדֻשָּֽׁן | yə-ḏûš-šān} ‘will be made fat’, using a metaphor of fatness for abundance. English renders the two clauses in parallel to maintain the Hebrew contrast and adapts the idiom to “enriched” or “prosper” to preserve metaphorical richness while focusing on covenantal trust.
