Proverbs 24:26

New International Reader's Version

An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.

See the chapter Copy

Honest words are so painful! But your reasoning doesn’t prove anything.

Joy is found in giving the right answer. And how good is a word spoken at the right time!

People make plans in their hearts. But the Lord puts the correct answer on their tongues.

But it will go well with those who sentence guilty people. Rich blessings will come to them.

Put your outdoor work in order. Get your fields ready. After that, build your house.
