Proverbs 25:10-15

¹⁰Lest he insult over thee, when he hath heard it, and cease not to upbraid thee. Grace and friendship deliver a man: keep these for thyself, lest thou fall under reproach.

¹¹To speak a word in due time, is like apples of gold on beds of silver.

¹²As an earring of gold and a bright pearl, so is he that reproveth the wise, and the obedient ear.

¹³As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to him that sent him, for he refresheth his soul.

¹⁴As clouds, and wind, when no rain followeth, so is the man that boasteth, and doth not fulfill his promises.

¹⁵By patience a prince shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.
