Proverbs 25:9-12
912Argue your case with your neighbor, And 3do not reveal the secret of another,10Or one who hears it will put you to shame, And the evil report about you will not 4pass away.
11Like apples of gold in settings of silver, Is a 5word spoken at 6the proper time.12Like 7an 8earring of gold and a 9jewelry piece of 10fine gold, Is a wise person who offers rebukes to a 11listening ear.
