The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 25:9-13

  1. Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:

  2. Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.

  3. A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

  4. As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

  5. 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.
