Proverbs 25:10 BBE

⁸  Do not be quick to go to law about what you have seen, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbour has put you to shame?

⁹  Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another:

¹⁰  Or your hearer may say evil of you, and your shame will not be turned away.

¹¹  A word at the right time is like apples of gold in a network of silver.

¹²  Like a nose-ring of gold and an ornament of the best gold, is a wise man who says sharp words to an ear ready to give attention.
