Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked - (cf. Proverbs 10:11.) All pray for blessings to descend on the head of the just; and they do so descend. But the penalty of the "violence" of the wicked (namely, the accumulated curses of God and of man) 'covereth their mouth,' so that, covered with shame, they have nothing to say in answer to their enemies, whom they have brought on themselves by their violence. (Psalms 107:42, "All iniquity shall stop her mouth;" cf. Psalms 69:7; Psalms 44:15; Micah 7:10). Haman's face was covered before his execution (Esther 7:8)
