Proverbs 24:26

King James Version (KJV)
Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

Kiss his lips - Shall treat him with affection and respect.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

Better, He shall kiss lips that giveth a right answer, i. e., he shall gain the hearts of men as much as by all outward signs of sympathy and favor. Compare 2 Samuel 15:1-6.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
The wisdom God giveth, renders a man fit for his station. Every one who finds the benefit of the right answer, will be attached to him that gave it. 27. We must prefer necessaries before conveniences, and not go in debt. 28,29. There are three defaults in a witness pointed out.
