Proverbs 10:12

Proverbs Concerning The Mouth

¹¹ The mouth of the upright man is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the evil-doer is a bitter cup. ¹² Hate is a cause of violent acts, but all errors are covered up by love. ¹³ In the lips of him who has knowledge wisdom is seen; but a rod is ready for the back of him who is without sense.
