Context Reading
9Argue your case with your neighbor without betraying another’s confidence, 10lest he who hears you bring shame upon you, and your infamy never go away. 11A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. 12Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear. 13Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the soul of his masters.
