Proverbs 25:11
9 Argue your case with your neighbor without betraying another’s confidence,
10 lest the one who hears may disgrace you, and your infamy never go away.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear.
13 Like 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.
