Proverbs 25:10-12
International Children’s Bible

10 Whoever hears it might say bad things about you.
    And you might not ever be respected again.

11 The right word spoken at the right time
    is as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl.

12 The warning of a wise person is valuable to someone who will listen.
    It is worth as much as gold earrings or fine gold jewelry.

Proverbs 25:10-12
New International Version

10 or the one who hears it may shame you
    and the charge against you will stand.

11 Like apples[a] of gold in settings of silver(A)
    is a ruling rightly given.
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold
    is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.(B)
