22  ^hLying lips are ⁱan abomination to the Lord,

^jbut those who act faithfully are his delight.

25  It is a snare to say rashly, “It is holy,”

and to reflect only ^oafter making vows.

26  Whoever gives an honest answer

kisses the lips.

23  Whoever ^prebukes a man will afterward find more favor

than ^qhe who flatters with his tongue.
