Bible Commentary

Proverbs 24:26

The 'kiss on the lips' represents deep affection and honour. A person who gives a right, honest answer earns great respect — they are valued by all who receive the truth from them.

Memory phrase: True answers are deeply treasured.

Talk about it: Why is a true, honest answer so valuable to people?

Prayer: God, help me always give true and right answers to those who ask me.
