Proverbs 25:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ for fear your listener will reproach you
    and your reputation will be irretrievably damaged.^[a]
11 Like apples of gold inlaid with silver
    are words that are aptly spoken.
¹² Like a gold ring or a necklace of fine gold
    is a wise man’s rebuke to an attentive ear.
