Proverbs 24:26 in context

  1. 24He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
    peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him—
  2. 25but it will go well with those who convict the guilty,
    and a rich blessing will come on them.
  3. 26An honest answer
    is like a kiss on the lips.
  4. 27Prepare your work outside,
    and get your fields ready.
    Afterwards, build your house.
  5. 28Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without cause.
    Don’t deceive with your lips.
