Proverbs 10:11 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Compare Proverbs 10:6. Streams of living water (like the “fountain of living waters” of Jeremiah 2:13; Jeremiah 17:13, and the “living water” of John 4:10), flow from the mouth of the righteous, but that of the wicked is “covered,” i. e., stopped and put to silence by their own violence.

Proverbs 10:11

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