Proverbs 12:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 12:6
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. Wicked speech sets ambushes seeking to harm; righteous speech brings deliverance. The military imagery presents speech as weapon - wicked use words to destroy; righteous use words to save. Such speech flows from character - wicked hearts produce deadly words; upright hearts produce life-giving words.
