Context of Proverbs 25:10
8Go not forth hastily to strive, Lestthou know notwhat to do in the end thereof, When thy neighbor hath put thee to shame. 9Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself, And disclose not the secret of another; Lest he that heareth it revile thee, And thine infamy turn not away. 11A word fitly spoken Islikeapples of gold in network of silver. 12Asan ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, So isa wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
