“The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.”
Proverbs 10:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 10:11
The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. Righteous speech provides life-giving refreshment like a well in arid land. In contrast, wicked speech hides (covers) violence - concealing destructive intent behind words. The verse presents speech as either blessing or curse, life-giving or life-destroying. Such speech flows from character - righteous persons speak life; wicked persons speak death.
