Proverbs 24:26
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
An honest answer given is like a kiss on the lips.
In context
24 Whoever tells the guilty, “You are innocent”— peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him;
25 but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come upon them.
26 An honest answer given is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Complete your outdoor work and prepare your field; after that, you may build your house.
28 Do not testify against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.
