This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_10:11 The mouth of a righteous [man is] a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.
Ver. 11. The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life.] Vena vitae os iusti. A fountain runs after it hath run, so doth a good man’s mouth incessantly utter the "words of truth and soberness," {Act_25:26} more perennis aquae. See the reason hereof: {Psa_37:30-31} the "law of his God is in his heart," that "law of his mind," {Rom_7:23} that counterpane of the written law, {Heb_8:10} that "good treasure" {Mat_12:35} that is daily drawn out, and yet not diminished. Salienti aquarum fonti undas si tollas, nec exhauritur, nec extenuatur, sed dulcesit. Take water from a well, it loses nothing, but becomes better and sweeter.
But violence covereth.] {See Trapp on "Pro_10:6"}
