Proverbs 5:2 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

That thou mayest regard discretion, and (that) thy lips may keep knowledge - that they lips may have a discreet and intelligent reply to give to the allurements of pleasure; as, for instance, to those of the "strange woman" (Proverbs 5:3; Proverbs 1:4; Psalms 119:100-101).
