Amsal 13:25

13:25 The righteous has enough food to satisfy his appetite, ¹ 

but the belly of the wicked lacks food. ² 

[13:25]  ¹ tn The noun נֶפֶשׁ (traditionally “soul”; cf. KJV, ASV) here means “appetite” (BDB 660 s.v. 5.a).

[13:25]  ² tn Heb “he will lack.” The term “food” is supplied in the translation as a clarification. 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.
