Proverbs 10:11

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.

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

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

Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly.

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.

The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.

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.

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

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

The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.
