Proverbs22:18
18 For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee ▪ they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
The words of the wise.
Heb. in thy belly, i. e. in thine heart, which implies receiving them in Love, and retaining them in mind and memory.
Be fitly expressed: or, be disposed or ordered. The sense is, when thou hast got them into thine heart▪ thou wilt be able and ready to discourse pertinently and profitably of them.
Marginal references: Heb. in thy belly. Job 15. 35. & 32. 18.
