Blessings » The blessing of the upright
By the blessing [of the influence] of the upright the city is exalted,
But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
Speech/communication » The mouth of the wicked
Blessings are on the head of the righteous [the upright, those in right standing with God],
But the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
By the blessing [of the influence] of the upright the city is exalted,
But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
The heart of the righteous thinks carefully about how to answer [in a wise and appropriate and timely way],
But the [babbling] mouth of the wicked pours out malevolent things.
A wicked and worthless witness mocks justice,
And the mouth of the wicked spreads iniquity.
The [malevolent] words of the wicked lie in wait for [innocent] blood [to slander],
But the mouth of the upright will rescue and protect them.
Uprightness » They who walk in » A blessing to others
By the blessing [of the influence] of the upright the city is exalted,
But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
