Proverbs 25:9
Compare all
7 aFor it is better that he say to you,
“Come up here,”
Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen. 
8 aDo not go hastily to1 court;
For what will you do in the end,
When your neighbor has put you to shame? 
9 aDebate your case with your neighbor,
And do not disclose the secret to another; 
10 Lest he who hears it expose your shame,
And1 your reputation be ruined. 
11 A word fitly aspoken is like apples of gold
In settings of silver. 
12 Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold
Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.
