Proverbs 24:26

Young's Literal Translation 1862

Lips he kisseth who is returning straightforward words.

See the chapter Copy

How powerful have been upright sayings, And what doth reproof from you reprove?

Joy `is' to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season -- how good!

Of man `are' arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an answer of the tongue.

And to those reproving it is pleasant, And on them cometh a good blessing.

Prepare in an out-place thy work, And make it ready in the field -- go afterwards, Then thou hast built thy house.
