11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
Focused Passage
Proverbs 10:11
The Righteous and the Wicked: Wisdom in Speech, Work, Wealth, and Life
The chapter moves as a concentrated collection rather than a single linear argument. Its repeated contrasts form a moral portrait of the righteous and the wicked, with major clusters around family, work, wealth, speech, discipline, desire, fear, and destiny.
