Proverbs 24:26 Context
24He that sayth vnto the wicked, Thou art righteous, him shall the people curse; nations shall abhorre him: 25But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come vpon them. 26Euery man shall kisse his lippes that giueth a right answere. 27Prepare thy worke without, and make it fit for thy selfe in the field; and afterwards build thine house. 28Be not a witnesse against thy neighbour without cause: and deceiue not with thy lippes.
