Proverbs 10:6-13
GOD’S WORD Translation
6 Blessings cover the head of a righteous person,
but violence covers the mouths of wicked people.
7 The name of a righteous person remains blessed,
but the names of wicked people will rot away.
Proverbs Concerning the Mouth
8 The one who is truly wise accepts commands,
but the one who talks foolishly will be thrown down headfirst.
9 Whoever lives honestly will live securely,
but whoever lives dishonestly will be found out.
10 Whoever winks with his eye causes heartache.
The one who talks foolishly will be thrown down headfirst.
11 The mouth of a righteous person is a fountain of life,
but the mouths of wicked people conceal violence.
12 Hate starts quarrels,
but love covers every wrong.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of a person who has understanding,
but a rod is for the back of one without sense.
