Proverbs 25:7-10

7 for it is better to be told, “Come up here!” than to be demoted in the presence of the prince. Even what ^[a] you have seen with your own eyes,

8 do not bring hastily to court. Otherwise, what will you do in the end when your neighbor puts you to shame?

9 Argue your case with your neighbor without betraying another’s confidence,

10 lest he who hears you bring shame upon you, and your infamy never go away.
