Proverbs 12:22 (NKJV) — 22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight.

The importance of honesty. God hates dishonesty and delights in honesty. In describing the person who deals truthfully, this verse speaks of a way of life, not just of words. If we want God to delight in us, we must be honest.
