Proverbs 25:10-12
Contemporary English Version

10 Others will find out,
and your reputation
    will then be ruined.

11 The right word
    at the right time
is like precious gold
    set in silver.
12 Listening to good advice
is worth much more
    than jewelry made of gold.

10 or the one who hears it may shame you

    is a ruling rightly given.

    is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.(B)
