Proverbs 10:11

Young's Literal Translation 1898

A fountain of life is the mouth of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.

See the chapter Copy

The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath shut her mouth.

The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the mouth of the wicked perverseness!

Blessings are for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn aside from snares of death.

A healed tongue is a tree of life, And perverseness in it--a breach in the spirit.

The lips of the wise scatter knowledge, And the heart of fools is not right.

Deep waters are the words of a man's mouth, The fountain of wisdom is a flowing brook.

Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, are lips of knowledge.

Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;
