For (it is) a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee (in thy breast; cf. margin); they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. Or supply 'if.' 'If they shall be equally х yachdaaw (H3162)] fitted in (i:e., aptly expressed by) thy lips,' as they are kept within thy heart. The sweetness or pleasantness of godly "knowledge is:
(1) if it be treasured in the inmost heart (Proverbs 2:10; Psalms 19:10; Psalms 119:103);
(2) if it be happily fitted with words of the lips (Psalms 119:171; Matthew 12:34-35; Colossians 3:16).
