Proverbs 12:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

That deal truly; that speak and act sincerely and truly. He implies, that although lying lips alone are sufficient to purchase God's hatred, yet truth in a man's speech is not sufficient to procure God's favour, unless there be also truth and justice in his actions.

Proverbs 12:22

22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
