Proverbs 25:9-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. Debate your cause with your neighbor himself,and do not disclose a secret to another;

10. lest he who hears it put you to shame,and your reputation be ruined.

11. A word fitly spokenis like apples of gold in settings of silver.

12. As an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold,so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.

13. As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,so is a faithful messenger to those who send him,for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
