Proverbs 25:8-13 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

8. Don't be too quick to go to court about something you have seen. If another witness later proves you wrong, what will you do then?

9. If you and your neighbour have a difference of opinion, settle it between yourselves and do not reveal any secrets.

10. Otherwise everyone will learn that you can't keep a secret, and you will never live down the shame.

11. An idea well expressed is like a design of gold, set in silver.

12. A warning given by an experienced person to someone willing to listen is more valuable than gold rings or jewellery made of the finest gold.

13. A reliable messenger is refreshing to the one who sends him, like cold water in the heat of harvest time.
