18 for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips.
18 for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.
18 you'll give it bold expression in your speech.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips,
18 For it is good to keep these sayings in your heart and always ready on your lips.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 22:18
Commentary on Proverbs 22:17-21
(Read Proverbs 22:17-21)
