John Gill Commentary Proverbs 24:26

"He kisseth the lips Who giveth a right answer." — Proverbs 24:26 (ASV)

[Every man] shall kiss [his] lips that gives a right
answer .
] Either as a witness to a question put to him in court, to which he answers aptly and uprightly; or rather as a judge, who, having heard a cause, answers and gives his opinion of it faithfully, and pronounces a righteous sentence; everyone will love and respect him, and hearken to him and obey him; both affection and obedience are signified by a kiss; see (Psalms 2:12) (Song of Solomon 8:1) .
