Proverbs 25:9-11
English Standard Version Anglicised
9 (A)Argue your case with your neighbour himself,
and do not reveal another's secret,
10 lest he who hears you bring shame upon you,
and your ill repute have no end.
11 (B)A word fitly spoken
is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.
Proverbs 25:9-11
New International Version
9 If you take your neighbor to court,
do not betray another’s confidence,
10 or the one who hears it may shame you
and the charge against you will stand.
