Proverbs 25:9-14 God's Word Translation (GW)

9. Present your argument to your neighbor,but do not reveal another person’s secret.

10. Otherwise, when he hears about it, he will humiliate you,and his evil report about you will never disappear.

11. ⌊Like⌋ golden apples in silver settings,⌊so⌋ is a word spoken at the right time.

12. ⌊Like⌋ a gold ring and a fine gold ornament,⌊so⌋ is constructive criticism to the ear of one who listens.

13. Like the coolness of snow on a harvest day,⌊so⌋ is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him:He refreshes his masters.

14. ⌊Like⌋ a dense fog or a dust storm,⌊so⌋ is a person who brags about a gift that he does not give.
