Fruit of lips: From the mouth of the righteous comes the fruit of wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be silenced. The righteous produces wisdom-fruit through their speech. The perverse tongue (lashon tahpekot) will be silenced (yikkarot). This indicates that truth ultimately prevails; falsehood is eventually exposed and silenced. The righteous's words bear fruit; the wicked's words come to nothing.
