Proverbs 10:9-11
Authorized (King James) Version
9 He that walketh uprightly walketh surely:
but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
10 He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow:
but a prating fool shall fall.
11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life:
but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.

But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.
