Life from the mouth: The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. The righteous's mouth flows with life (miqor chayim), nourishing those who hear. The wicked's mouth produces violence (chamas), harm. This indicates that speech is a fundamental expression of inner character. The righteous person speaks words that build up and give life; the wicked speaks words that destroy.
