Proverbs 25:8-15

⁸Do not quickly go to a court to tell the judge about something that you have seen, because another witness may later say something that proves that you are wrong, and as a result you will be disgraced/ashamed. If that happens, ◄what will you do?/you will not know what to do.► RHQ

⁹If you and someone else think differently about some matter, settle it between yourselves, and do not tell others any secret that he has told you.

¹⁰If others find out that you have told secrets, you will be ashamed, and from that time on, ◄you will have a bad reputation/people will think badly about you►.

¹¹Something that is said that is very appropriate is as delightful as seeing SIM gold apples/ornaments in a silver bowl.

¹²When a wise person rebukes/warns someone SYN who is willing to listen, that is as valuable as SIM a gold ring or a gold chain.

¹³A messenger who ◄is reliable/tells someone else exactly what he was told to say► refreshes the spirits of his bosses who sent him like SIM ◄snow/cold water► refreshes the ground at the time that people harvest crops.

¹⁴When someone promises to give a gift to us but never gives it, that disappoints us as much as SIM clouds and wind that come but do not bring any rain.

¹⁵If someone keeps requesting a ruler long enough to do something, he will often agree to do it; similarly, by speaking MTY gently we can often convince others that what we say is right IDM.
