Proverbs 25:6-11

⁶Do not honor yourself in the king's presence and do not stand in the place designated for great people.

⁷It is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,” than for him to humiliate you before a nobleman. What you have witnessed,

⁸do not bring quickly to trial. For what will you do in the end when your neighbor puts you to shame?

⁹Argue your case between you and your neighbor himself and do not disclose another's secret,

¹⁰or else the one who hears you will bring shame upon you and an evil report about you that cannot be silenced.

¹¹Apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in the right situation.
