Proverbs 10:11, 13, 19-21, 31-32 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.
Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues.
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of sense.
From the mouth of the righteous comes the fruit of wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be silenced.
The lips of the righteous know what finds favor, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.
Words of the righteous...
-fountain of life
-wisdom
-prudent
-choice silver
-nourish
-finds favor
Just in one chapter of Proverbs comes these descriptions of words from a righteous person...what blessings to find these...what blessings to hear them, or to be able to give them...
What it must have been like to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to His words as Mary and so many did...the Righteous one giving out wisdom, nourishment...as opposed to those perverse ones hovering around finding fault...scheming a way to silence Him...
Thank YOU that you gave us your Word...that you care enough that all should have the opportunity to hear your word around the world in so many different heart languages...
