Proverbs 25:11 in Context — Proverbs 25

9 Disputa tua causa com teu próximo, mas não reveles segredo de outra pessoa.

10 Para que não te envergonhe aquele que ouvir; pois tua má fama não pode ser desfeita.

11 A palavra dita em tempo apropriado é [como] maçãs de ouro em bandejas de prata.

12 O sábio que repreende junto a um ouvido disposto a escutar é [como] pendentes de ouro e ornamentos de ouro refinado.

13 Como frio de neve no tempo da colheita, [assim] é o mensageiro fiel para aqueles que o enviam; porque ele refresca a alma de seus senhores.
