Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 10:6

"Blessings are upon the head of the righteous; But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked." — Proverbs 10:6 (ASV)

Covers ... - The meaning is perhaps, the violence which the wicked has done is as a bandage over his mouth, reducing him to a silence and shame, like that of the leper (Leviticus 13:45; Micah 3:7) or the condemned criminal (Esther 7:8), whose face is covered.
