Spreuken 24:26 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 24:26

[Every man] shall kiss [his] lips that giveth a right
answer.
] Either as a witness to a question put to him in court, to which he answers aptly and uprightly; or rather as a judge, who, having heard a cause, answers and gives his opinion of it faithfully, and pronounces a righteous sentence; everyone will love and respect him, and hearken to him and obey him; both affection and obedience are signified by a kiss; see ( Psalms 2:12 ) ( Song of Solomon 8:1 ) .

Spreuken 24:26 In-Context

24 Die tot den goddeloze zegt: Gij zijt rechtvaardig; dien zullen de volken vervloeken, de natien zullen hem gram zijn.
25 Maar voor degenen, die hem bestraffen, zal liefelijkheid zijn; en de zegen des goeds zal op hem komen.
26 Men zal de lippen kussen desgenen, die rechte woorden antwoordt.
27 Beschik uw werk daarbuiten, en bereid het voor u op den akker, en bouw daarna uw huis.
28 Wees niet zonder oorzaak getuige tegen uw naaste; want zoudt gij verleiden met uw lip?
