10 Lest one who hears it put you to shame, And your bad reputation never depart.
11 A word fitly spoken Is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
12 As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, So is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, So is a faithful messenger to those who send him; For he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 As clouds and wind without rain, So is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.
