King James Version
"Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away."
— Proverbs 25:10, King James Version
“Lest he that heareth it revile thee, And thine infamy turn not away. ”
“lest one who hears it put you to shame, and your bad reputation never depart.”
“lest the one who hears it put you to shame and your infamy will never go away.”
“Lest he insult over thee, when he hath heard it, and cease not to upbraid thee. Grace and friendship deliver a man: keep these for thyself, lest thou fall under reproach.”
“Or your hearer may say evil of you, and your shame will not be turned away.”
“Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.”
For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
