9 Debate your cause with your neighbor himself; and disclose not a secret to another:
10 Lest he that hears it put you to shame, and the evil report turns not away.
11 A word fitly spoken is 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 upon an obedient ear.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 Whosoever boasts about himself of a gift not given is like clouds and wind without rain.
15 By long patience is a prince persuaded, and a gentle tongue breaks the bone.
