7 for better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither;than that thou shouldest be put lowerin the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth hastily to strive,lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof,when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself;and discover not a secret to another:
10 lest he that heareth it put thee to shame,and thine infamy turn not away.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures 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 refresheth the soul of his masters.
