Proverbs 25:10-12

¹⁰lest your friend continue to reproach you, so your quarrel and enmity shall not depart, but shall be to you like death. Favour and friendship set a man free, which do you keep for yourself, lest you be made liable to reproach; but take heed to your ways peaceably.

¹¹As a golden apple in a necklace of sardius, so is it to speak a wise word.

¹²In an ear-ring of gold a precious sardius is also set; so is a wise word to an obedient ear.
