Proverbs 10:11
Arabic Bible AVDDV 1999 (الكتاب المقدس (تخفيف تشكيل))
What Does This Mean?
This verse from the book of Proverbs tells us that the words of a righteous person are full of life and positivity, like a well that gives fresh water. On the other hand, a wicked person’s words are filled with violence and negativity. King Solomon, known for his wisdom, wrote this to encourage people to speak positively and avoid harmful speech.
Explained for Children
Imagine a well that gives you the best water to drink. That's like the words a good person says—they make you feel good and give you strength. But if someone is mean and always says bad things, it's like that well is full of yucky water you don't want to drink. So, try to be the one who gives good water!
Historical Background

Living It Out Today
In today’s world, this verse reminds us to be mindful of our words on social media. A comment that uplifts others or shares helpful information can inspire many people, much like a well that quenches thirst. In contrast, spreading hate or negativity can harm relationships and communities.
