An honest reply— a kiss on the lips.
How painful honest words can be; yet how unconvincing is your argument!
One has joy from an apt response; a word in season, how good it is!
Plans are made in human hearts, but from the Lord comes the tongue’s response.
But those who render just verdicts will fare well, and on them will come the blessing of prosperity.
Complete your outdoor tasks, and arrange your work in the field; afterward you can build your house.
