Proverbs 10:11

A Conservative Version

The mouth of a righteous man is a fountain of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

See the chapter Copy

The law of a wise man is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

Blessings are upon the head of a righteous man, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

The words of a man's mouth are deep waters. The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.

Let no corrupt speech go out of your mouth, rather if there is any good word for edification of a need, so that it may give grace to those who hear.

There is gold, and abundance of rubies, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the foolish, not so.

The lips of a righteous man knows what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked [is] perverseness.

The upright shall see it, and be glad. And all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it is a breaking of the spirit.
