⁹ ·If you have an argument with [^LMake your accusations against] your neighbor,
    ·don’t tell other people what was said [keep it a secret from others].
¹⁰ Whoever hears it might shame you,
    and ·you might not ever be respected again [^Lthe slander against you will never stop].

¹¹ The right word spoken at the right time
is as beautiful as gold apples in a silver ·bowl [^Lsetting].
