Proverbs 24:26

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

He kisseth the lips That giveth a right answer.

See the chapter Copy

How forcible are words of uprightness! But what doth your arguing reprove?

A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth: And a word in due season, how good is it!

The preparations of the heart belong to man: But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD.

But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, And a good blessing shall come upon them.

Prepare thy work without, And make it ready for thee in the field; And afterwards build thine house.
