Proverbs 10:11
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
A righteous man or woman speaks life-giving words, most often to others and sometimes to one's self. Flowing well water is particularly precious and people gather around it. The open, benevolent speech of the righteous is just as necessary for a community, offering everyone abundant life-temporal, intellectual, moral, and spiritual.
The wicked man or woman brings harm and hurt with their words. They take away life.
Application
Do your best to say positive things to whomever you meet today. Speak to them with encouraging words.
