Proverbs 25:9–12

9 xArgue your case with your neighbor himself,

and do not reveal another’s secret,

10 lest he who hears you bring shame upon you,

and your ill repute have no end.

11 yA word fitly spoken

is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.

12 Like za gold ring or an ornament of gold

is a wise reprover to aa listening ear.
