Proverbios 25:8 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 25:8

Go not forth hastily to strive
To go to law with a neighbour; think well of it beforehand; consider the nature of the cause, whether right or wrong; or whether it is a matter of such moment as to go to law about; whether it will not be deemed a frivolous and vexatious suit; whether able to bear the expenses of it, and what may probably be the success of it; lest [thou know not] what to do in the end thereof;
for a livelihood, having spent all thy substance in the lawsuit, and so reduced to poverty as not to know how to live, or how and where to show thy face, through the disgrace that shall fall upon time by losing the cause; when that neighbour hath put thee to shame;
in open court, and proved himself to be in the right, and that thou art in the wrong; himself an honest man, and thee a litigious person.

Proverbios 25:8 In-Context

6 No exijas una audiencia con el rey
ni insistas en hacerte un lugar entre los grandes.
7 Es mejor esperar a que te inviten a la mesa principal
y no que te echen y pases verg眉enza en p煤blico.
Tan solo por haber visto algo,
8 no vayas corriendo a los tribunales.
Pues, 驴qu茅 har谩s si a fin de cuentas
tu pr贸jimo te desmiente y te hace pasar verg眉enza?
9 Cuando discutas con tu pr贸jimo,
no reveles los secretos que otros te confiaron.
10 Te podr铆an acusar de chismoso,
y nunca recuperar谩s tu buena reputaci贸n.
