Proverbs 25:8-10
New International Version
8 do not bring[a] hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
if your neighbor puts you to shame?(A)
9 If you take your neighbor to court,
do not betray another’s confidence,
10 or the one who hears it may shame you
and the charge against you will stand.
