Put thee to shame; reproach thee for thy gross violation of the laws of prudence, and justice, and charity, and friendship therein.
And thine infamy turn not away; and that disgrace which thou didst design against another fall and be fastened upon thyself.

Lest he that heareth [it] put thee to shame,…. Or, “reproach thee” c 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.

Pro 25:10 Lest he that heareth [it] put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
Ver. 10. Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame. ] Repute thee and report thee an evil conditioned fellow, a backbiter, and a tale bearer, one not fit to be trusted with secrets. True it is that dearest friends are in some cases to be accused and complained of to those that may do good upon them, as Joseph brought his brethren’s evil report to his father, and as the household of Chloe told Paul of the Corinthian contentions. But this must be done wisely and regularly, with due observation of circumstances, as Solomon elegantly sets forth in the following proverb.
