In context
7for it is better to be told, “Come up here,” than to be put down before a noble. What your eyes have seen— 8do not rush out to argue over it. What will you do in the end, when your neighbor puts you to shame? 9Argue your own case with your neighbor, but do not give away another man’s secret, 10or whoever hears it will shame you, and the bad report about you will never go away. 11Apples of gold in settings of silver—that is a word spoken at the right turn.
