Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 25 of Proverbs. The first part advises against rushing to bring a dispute before authority without first considering it carefully. Direct and private correction protects the relationship better than revealing secrets. The images of a word spoken at the right time and a faithful messenger present wise communication as something precious. Patience can also persuade a ruler, showing that the strength of a word does not depend solely on volume or pressure.

auf daß nicht übel von dir spreche, der es hört, und dein böses Gerücht nimmer ablasse.
No sea que te deshonre el que lo oyere, Y tu infamia no pueda repararse.
no sea que quien lo oiga te reproche y tu mala fama no se borre.
De peur qu'en l'apprenant il ne te couvre de honte, Et que ta mauvaise renommée ne s'efface pas.
Che talora chi ti ode non ti vituperi, E che la tua infamia non possa essere riparata
Para que não te desonre o que o ouvir, e a tua infâmia não se aparte de ti.
恐怕聽見的人責罵你, 你就難以擺脫臭名。
