Proverbs 10:11

Catholic Public Domain Version

The mouth of the just is a vein of life. And the mouth of the impious covers iniquity.

See the chapter Copy

The lips of the just consider what is acceptable. And the mouth of the impious considers perversities.

The blessing of the Lord is on the head of the just. But iniquity covers the mouth of the impious.

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, so that he may turn aside from the ruin of death.

A peaceful tongue is a tree of life. But that which is immoderate will crush the spirit.

The lips of the wise shall disseminate knowledge. The heart of the foolish will be dissimilar.

Words from the mouth of a man are deep waters. And the fountain of wisdom is a torrent overflowing.

There is gold, and there are a multitude of jewels. But lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.

Let no evil words proceed from your mouth, but only what is good, toward the edification of faith, so as to bestow grace upon those who listen.
