Proverbs of Solomon: observations of moral virtues, and their contrary vices(6) Violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.--Curses and deeds of violence have proceeded from his mouth, but God frustrates them, they "return unto him void" (Isaiah 55:11), and, as it were, stop his mouth, reducing him to silence.Verse 6. - Violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. So Ver. 11. This is usually explained to mean either that the consciousness of his own iniquity silences the sinner when he would speak against the righteous, or his violence and injustice, returning on his own head, are like a bandage over his mouth (Leviticus 13:45; Micah 3:7), reducing him to shame and silence. Others, again, consider the signification to be - in default of the good, honest words which should proceed from a man's mouth, the sinner pours forth injustice and wickedness.
