Context of Proverbs 25:10

8Don’t take a matter to court hastily. Otherwise, what will you do afterward if your opponent humiliates you? 9Make your case with your opponent without revealing another’s secret; otherwise, the one who hears will disgrace you, and you’ll never live it down. 11A word spoken at the right time is like gold apples in silver settings. 12A wise correction to a receptive ear is like a gold ring or an ornament of gold.
