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.
