Proverbs 10:11

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

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

The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death.

A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.

The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.

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

There is gold and abundance of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
