Verse 15 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.
