Proverbs 24:24-26

Lexham English Bible

²⁴ Whoever says to the guilty, “You are righteous,” the people will curse him;
    the nations will abhor him.
²⁵ But they who rebuke will have delight,
    and upon them blessings of goodness will come.
²⁶ He will kiss the lips,
    he who gives an honest answer.
