Proverbs 25:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 do not bring hastily to court. Otherwise, what will you do in the end when your neighbor puts you to shame?

10 lest the one who hears may disgrace you, and your infamy never go away.

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

12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear.
