Proverbs 25:8-13

⁸Do not proceed to a contest hastily, lest thou know not what thou wilt have to do at its end, when thy neighbor hath put thee to confusion.

⁹Carry on thy cause with thy neighbor; but lay not open the secret of another:

¹⁰Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thy infamy never be removed.

¹¹Like apples of gold among figures of silver is a word spoken in a proper manner.

¹²As an earring of gold, and a pendant of fine gold, so is a wise reprover toward an ear that listeneth.

¹³As the cooling of snow on a harvest-day, so is a faithful messenger to those that send him; for he refresheth the soul of his master.
