Verse 16 is found in chapter 10 of Proverbs. These proverbs focus attention on speech. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, while violence may hide behind the words of the wicked. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers many offenses. Wisdom is also shown in knowing when to speak and when to remain silent: multiplying words without knowledge increases the risk of sin, while the lips of the discerning nourish others.
