Proverbs 24:26

Compare all

24 ^aHe who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
Him the people will curse;
Nations will abhor him.

25 But those who rebuke the wicked will have ^adelight,
And a good blessing will come upon them.

26 He who gives a right answer kisses the lips.

27 ^aPrepare your outside work,
Make it fit for yourself in the field;
And afterward build your house.

28 ^aDo not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,
¹For would you deceive with your lips?
