Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. 

‘The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life.’ A gentle tongue speaks truth and life. A well is a spring or fountain (Mark 5:29; Jas. 3:11-12; Rev. 7:17; 8:10; 14:7; 16:4; 21:6); and well (John 4:6, 14; 2Pet. 2:17).

Sixteen sources of life: The tree of life (Pro. 15:4). The path of life (Ps. 16:11; Pro. 5:6). The fountain of life (Ps. 36:9; Pro. 13:14; 14:27; Rev. 7:17). The well of life (Pro. 10:11; John 4:14). The way of life (Pro. 10:17; 15:24). The wellspring of life (Pro. 16:22). The bread of life (John 6:35). The ways of life (Acts 2:28). The Prince of Life (Acts 3:15). The Spirit of life (Rom. 8:2; Rev. 11:1-19). The savour of life (2Cor. 2:16). The Word of life (Php. 2:16; 1Jn. 1:1-10). The promise of life (2Tim. 1:1). The hope of life (Tit. 3:7). The grace of life (1Pet. 3:7). The water of life (Rev. 22:1; 17).

‘But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.’ The second time this is used in this chapter (10:6, 11). In Psalms 11:5 we read that the Lord’s soul hates the wicked and him that loves violence and in Psalms 140 we see David’s earnest prayer to be delivered and preserved from the evil violent man, thus giving us an example to believe that God will do the same for us if we adhere to the consecration laws as stated throughout Scripture (Ps. 1:1-6; 6:8; 26:4-5; Rom. 16:17; 1Cor. 5:9-13; 2Cor. 6:14 – 7:1; 2Tim. 3:2-5; 1Jn. 2Jn. 1:9-11 etc).
