Proverbs 24:26

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words.

See the chapter Copy

A man rejoiceth in the sentence of his mouth: and a word in due time is best.

It is the part of man to prepare the soul: and of the Lord to govern the tongue.

Why have you detracted the words of truth, whereas there is none of you that can reprove me?

They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them.

Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house.
