Context of Proverbs 10:18
16The wages of the righteous is life, The income of the wicked, punishment. 17He is on the path of life who heeds instruction, But he who ignores reproof goes astray. He who conceals hatred has lying lips, And he who spreads slander is a fool. 19When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise. 20The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver, The heart of the wicked is worth little.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 18He that hideth - This is a common case. How many, when full of resentment, and deadly hatred, meditating revenge and cruelty, and sometimes even murder, have pretended that they thought nothing of the injury they had sustained; had passed by the insult, etc.! Thus lying lips covered the malevolence of a wicked heart.Read the comment
