Proverbs 25:10

Bible in Basic English 1965

Or your hearer may say evil of you, and your shame will not be turned away.

See the chapter Copy

Take away the shame which is my fear; for your decisions are good.

A word at the right time is like apples of gold in a network of silver.

Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another:

A good name is better than oil of great price, and the day of death than the day of birth.
