- the kisses:
- "He that hidethª° hatredª [with] lyingª lips,ª and he that utterethª° a slander,ª [is] a fool.ª" {Prv 10:18} + "Burningª° lipsª and a wickedª heartª [are like] a potsherdª coveredª° with silverª dross.ª ... [Whose] hatredª is coveredª° by deceit,ª his wickednessª shall be shewedª° before the [whole] congregation.ª" {Prv 26:23-26} + "And Joabª saidª° to Amasa,ª [Art] thou¹ in health,ª my brother?ª And Joabª tookª° Amasaª by the beardª with the rightª handª to kissª° him. ... But Amasaª took no¹ heedª° to the swordª that¹ [was] in Joab'sª hand:ª so he smoteª° him therewith in¹ the fifthª [rib], and shed outª° his bowelsª to the ground,ª and struck¹ him not¹ again;²° and he died.ª° So Joabª and Abishaiª his brotherª pursuedª° afterª Shebaª the sonª of Bichri.ª" {2Sm 20:9-10} + "Nowª he that betrayedª° himª gaveª° themª a sign,ª saying,ª° Whomsoeverªª I shall kiss,ª° that sameª isª° he:² hold²° him² fast.ª°¹ ... Andª Jesusª saidª° unto him,ª Friend,ª whereforeªª art thou come?²° Then²¹ came¹ they,²° and laidª° handsª onª Jesus,ª andª tookª° him.ª" {Mtt 26:48-50}
