Proverbs 10:11

New King James Version

The mouth of the righteous 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 turn one away from the snares of death.

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

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

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to 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 fool does not do so.

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

The righteous see it and rejoice, And all iniquity stops its mouth.

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
