SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:18
porque es cosa deleitable, si las guardares en tus entrañas; y que juntamente sean ordenadas en tus labios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 22:18
Verse 18. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee] II. The pleasure and profit which may be derived from an attentive hearing. 1. They should be laid up in the heart-stored, treasured up within thee.
2. This will yield high satisfaction and happiness to the soul: "For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee." 3. The man who thus attends to the teachings of wisdom shall gain an experimental knowledge of them, so as to be able to speak of them suitably, pertinently and persuasively. "They shall withal be fitted in thy lips."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. For [it is] a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee , etc.] Or, “in thy belly” f604 . That is, in thine heart, in the inmost recesses of it; where the words or doctrines of the wise should be received in the love of them, and carefully laid up and retained; which will upon reflection yield much pleasure, like Ezekiel’s roll, which was in his belly as honey for sweetness; and which also is very profitable as an antidote against sin, ( <19B911> Psalm 119:11); they shall withal be fitted in thy lips ; become them, and be suitable and graceful to them: or, “shall be ordered [and disposed] in” or “by thy lips” f605 ; being received into the heart, and digested there, they shall easily and freely go off the tongue, which shall be as the pen of a ready writer; they shall be delivered in a regular manner, with great liberty and facility; by a good digestion of Gospel truths, and a comfortable experience of them, persons become apt to teach others.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-21 - To these words, to this knowledge, the ear must be bowed down, and the heart applied by faith and love. To live a life of delight in God an dependence on him, is the foundation of all practical religion. The way to know the certainty of the word of truth, is to make conscience of our duty.
