Proverbs 10:6 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Covereth ... - The meaning is perhaps, the violence which the wicked has done is as a bandage over his mouth, reducing him to a silence and shame, like that of the leper Leviticus 13:45; Micah 3:7 or the condemned criminal Esther 7:8, whose “face is covered.”

Proverbs 10:6

6 Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
