The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of judgment. —Proverbs 10:21.
Righteous people have a way of blessing others with their words. They may be words of encouragement, carefully chosen speech, advice full of wisdom, messages of comfort, truth in teaching, or faithfulness to their promises. Now, there are folks who think their words are wise, but they don’t match up to this promise: The lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools die for lack of judgment. No matter what form, the words of righteous people are blessings to those who receive them. But fools don’t listen to the righteous. The foolish plot their own course, refusing truth, wisdom, and godliness, only to find their lives lost to meaninglessness and folly.
