Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Proverbs 24:26

Proverbs 24:26. Every man shall kiss his lips, &c.— See Gen 41:40 in the margin of our bibles. The Egyptian translators of the LXX seem to have understood this verse in much the same sense as the passage referred to; Lips shall kiss those things which answer right words; "Shall kiss those writings by which a judge giveth just decisions." Solomon seems to be speaking of a dignified judge, as the preceding words lead us to suppose; for they express the effects which just or unjust judgments... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Proverbs 24:26

One paraphrase of this verse is as follows: "The right word spoken seals all, like a kiss on the lips." [Note: Knox cited by Kidner, p. 156. See Waltke, The Book . . . 31, p. 293, for information about kissing customs in the ancient Near East.] Truthful speech is a mark of friendship."As a sincere kiss shows affection and is desirable, so an honest (and perhaps straightforward) answer shows a person’s concern and therefore is welcomed." [Note: Buzzell, p. 959.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Proverbs 24:1-34

5. Read, ’A wise man is better than a warrior, and a man of knowledge than a man of strength.’7. When put on his trial ’in the gate’ of the city, where public business was usually transacted, he has nothing to say (Matthew 22:12). 10. Adversity is sent to bring out your strength: if you are slack and irresolute in the day of trial you are proved to be a weakling. 11, 12. Do not seek to evade your responsibilities (Genesis 4:9; James 4:17). 13, 14. Wisdom is as sweet as honey.16-18. Seven] an... read more

To begin at the bottom of the scale, let us glance at that kind of building which with so many people is the first and chief concern of life the building up of their material fortunes.

CHAPTER 24 Instructions Continued In the final instructions of this chapter we find first a description of the evil men. Their heart studieth destruction; their lips talk mischief.
