A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; [and] with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

Ver. 20. A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth.] See Trapp on " Pro 12:14 " See Trapp on " Pro 13:2 "

And with the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.] It is worthy the observing, saith an interpreter here, that Solomon doth vary his words: he speaketh sometimes of the "mouth," sometimes of the "lips," sometimes of the "tongue," as Proverbs 18:21, to show that all the instruments or means of speech shall have, as it were, their proper and just reward.
