Proverbs 25:8-12 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. do not quickly take someone to court.What will you do laterwhen your neighbor proves you are wrong?

9. If you have an argument with your neighbor,don’t tell other people what was said.

10. Whoever hears it might say bad things about you.And you might not ever be respected again.

11. The right word spoken at the right timeis as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl.

12. The warning of a wise person is valuable to someone who will listen.It is worth as much as gold earrings or fine gold jewelry.
