Proverbs 25:10 (WEB)
Context Reading
8Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court.What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you? 9Debate your case with your neighbor,and don’t betray the confidence of another, 10lest one who hears it put you to shame,and your bad reputation never depart. 11A word fitly spokenis like apples of gold in settings of silver. 12As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.
