Proverbs 25:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Lest, hearing it, they reproach you,
and your ill repute never ceases.
11 Golden apples in silver settings
are words spoken at the proper time.
12 A golden earring or a necklace of fine gold—
one who gives wise reproof to a listening ear.
Proverbs 25:10-12
New International Version
10 or the one who hears it may shame you
and the charge against you will stand.
