Proverbs 25:9

⁷For it is better for thee that it should be said, Come up to me, Than that one should humble thee in the presence of the prince; Speak of that which thine eyes have seen.

⁸Get not suddenly into a quarrel, Lest thou repent at last.

— Proverbs 25:9 —

¹⁰Lest thy friend continue to reproach thee, So thy quarrel and enmity shall not depart, But shall be to thee like death. a Favor and friendship set a man free, Which do thou keep for thyself, lest thou be made liable to reproach; But take heed to thy ways peaceably.

¹¹As a golden apple in a necklace of sardius, So is it to speak a wise word.
