Proverbs 25:8
World English Bible (WEB)
Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?
In context
6 Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place among great men;
7 for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,” than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen.
8 Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?
9 Debate your case with your neighbor, and don’t betray the confidence of another,
10 lest one who hears it put you to shame, and your bad reputation never depart.
