10 Whoever hears it might shame you,
    and ·you might not ever be respected again [L the slander against you will never stop].

12 A wise ·warning [correction] to ·someone who will listen [L a listening ear]
is as valuable as gold earrings or fine gold jewelry.

10 or the one who hears it may shame you
    and the charge against you will stand.

    is a ruling rightly given.

    is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.(B)
