Proverbs 25:9-13 - Heartlight

⁹Argue your case with your neighbor

without betraying another’s confidence,

¹⁰lest the one who hears may disgrace you,

and your infamy never go away.

¹¹A word fitly spoken

is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

¹²Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold

is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear.

¹³Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest

is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him;

he refreshes the soul of his masters.
