Proverbs 24:26

Catholic Public Domain Version

He shall kiss the lips, who responds with upright words.

See the chapter Copy

Why have you diminished the words of truth, when there is none of you who is able to offer proof against me?

A man rejoices in the verdict of his own mouth. And a word at the right time is best.

It is for man to prepare the soul, and for the Lord to govern the tongue.

Those who argue against the impious shall be praised, and a blessing shall come upon them.

Prepare your outdoor work, and diligently cultivate your field, so that afterward, you may build your house.
