Pro 13:25 | NET2full | STEP | The righteous has enough food to satisfy his appetite , but the belly of the wicked will be empty .

‏ Proverbs 13:25

25 The righteous has enough food to satisfy ^{▼▼tn Heb “eats to the abundance of.”} his appetite, ^{▼▼tn The noun נֶפֶשׁ (traditionally “soul”; cf. KJV, ASV) here means “appetite” (BDB 660 s.v. 5.a).}
but the belly of the wicked will be empty. ^{▼▼tn The imperfect verb תֶּחְסָר (tekhsar) is from the stative root סָחַר (sakhar, “to be devoid of, to decrease, to be empty”) and so should be future tense.} ^{▼▼sn The wicked may go hungry, or lack all they desire, just as the first colon may mean that what the righteous acquire proves satisfying to them.}
