Proverbs 10:11

King James 2000

The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

See the chapter Copy

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

Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

The words of a man's mouth are like deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom like a flowing brook.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

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

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

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

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop its mouth.

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
