Proverbs 10:10-12
The Message
10 An evasive eye is a sign of trouble ahead,
but an open, face-to-face meeting results in peace.
11 The mouth of a good person is a deep, life-giving well,
but the mouth of the wicked is a dark cave of abuse.
12 Hatred starts fights,
but love pulls a quilt over the bickering.
Proverbs 10:10-12
New International Version
10 Whoever winks maliciously(A) causes grief,
and a chattering fool comes to ruin.
11 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,(B)
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.(C)
12 Hatred stirs up conflict,
but love covers over all wrongs.(D)
