10 damit dich nicht schmähe, wer es hört, und dein übler Ruf nicht mehr weiche.

Sprueche 25:10 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 25:10

Lest he that heareth [it] put thee to shame
Or, "reproach thee" F3 with treachery and deceit. Either the person of whom it is told, or the person to whom it is told; who may make thee ashamed, either by fixing the odious character of a defamer, a whisperer, and backbiter, on thee; or by making a retaliation, and in his turn make known some secret things concerning thyself, which before were not known, and, now published, will be to thy disgrace; and thine infamy turn not away;
it shall stick so close to thee, that thou shalt never get clear of it as long as thou livest, or ever retrieve thy credit; the brand of infamy shall ever be upon thee.

8 Geh nicht eilig aus zu einem Streithandel, damit am Ende davon nicht fraglich werde, was du zu tun hast, wenn dein Nächster dich beschämt. -
9 Führe deinen Streithandel mit deinem Nächsten, aber enthülle nicht das Geheimnis eines anderen;
10 damit dich nicht schmähe, wer es hört, und dein übler Ruf nicht mehr weiche.
11 Goldene Äpfel in silbernen Prunkgeräten: so ist ein Wort, geredet zu seiner Zeit.
12 Ein goldener Ohrring und ein Halsgeschmeide von feinem Golde: so ist ein weiser Tadler für ein hörendes Ohr.
