Contextual Overview

¹⁰ His children shalbe faine to agree with the poore, and his handes shall restore their goodes. ¹¹ From his youth his bones are full of pleasures, but now shall it lye downe within him in the earth. ¹² When wickednesse was sweete in his mouth, he hyd it vnder his tongue. ¹³ That he fauoured, that would he not forsake, but kept it close in his throte. ¹⁴ The bread that he did eate, is turned to the poyson of serpentes within his bodye. ¹⁵ The riches that he deuoured shall he parbreake againe: for God shall drawe them out of his belly. ¹⁶ He shall sucke the gall of serpentes, and the adders tongue shall slay him: ¹⁷ So that he shall no more see the ryuers and brookes of hony and butter. ¹⁸ The thing he hath laboured for, shall he restore, and shall not eate of it: great trauaile shall he make for riches, but he shall not enioy them. ¹⁹ And why? he hath oppressed the poore, and not helped them: houses hath he spoyled, and not builded them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

[Though] he spare it,.... Not that he feeds sparingly on it, for he eats of it freely and plentifully, with great eagerness and greediness; it designs the gratefulness of it to him; he does not spit it out as loathsome, having tasted of it, but retains it as sweet and pleasant; he spares it as Saul did Agag, and as a man spares his only son; sin being a child, a brat of a wicked man, and therefore it is dear unto him:

and forsake it not: as he never will, until he is fully convinced of the evil of it, and it becomes exceeding sinful to him, and so loathsome and disagreeable; and he is restrained from it by the grace of God, and enabled by it to desert it, for such an one only finds mercy, Proverbs 28:13;

but keep it still within his mouth; like an epicure, that will not suffer his food quickly to go down his throat into his stomach, that he may have the greater pleasure in tasting, palating, and relishing it; as Philoxenus, who wished his throat as long as a crane's, that he might be the longer in tasting the sweetness of what he ate and drank; so the wicked man keeps sin within his mouth, not by restraining his mouth from speaking evil, rather by a non-confession of it, but chiefly by continuing and persisting in it, that he might have all the pleasure and satisfaction he has promised himself in it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Though he spare it - That is, though he retains it long in his mouth, that he may enjoy it the more.

And forsake it not - Retains it as long as he can.

But keep it still within his mouth - Margin, as in Hebrew “in the midst of his palate.” He seeks to enjoy it as long as possible.
