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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
