Proverbs 25:8-13

⁸Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

⁹Debate thy cause with thy neighbour, but reveal not the secret of another;

¹⁰Lest he that heareth it revile thee, and thine infamy turn not away.

¹¹A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

¹²As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

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