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

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
but violence takes lives.

From the words of his mouth,
a man will enjoy good things,
but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.

They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.

for their hearts plan violence,
and their words stir up trouble.

The one who sends a message by a fool’s hand
cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.

The violence of the wicked sweeps them away
because they refuse to act justly.
