Proverbs 10:11, 13, 19-21, 31-32

Proverbs 10:11 MSG

The mouth of a good person is a deep, life-giving well, but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.

Proverbs 10:13 MSG

You’ll find wisdom on the lips of a person of insight, but the shortsighted needs a slap in the face.

Proverbs 10:19-21 MSG

The more talk, the less truth; the wise measure their words. The speech of a good person is worth waiting for; the blabber of the wicked is worthless. The talk of a good person is rich fare for many, but chatterboxes die of an empty heart.

Proverbs 10:31-32 MSG

A good person’s mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom; a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp. The speech of a good person clears the air; the words of the wicked pollute it.
