Proverbs 10:11

American Standard Version (1901)

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

See the chapter Copy

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, That one may depart from the snares of death.

Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

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

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that 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 doeth not so.

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; But the mouth of the wicked speaketh 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 therein is a breaking of the spirit.
