Proverbs 25:8-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 do not hastily bring into court,
for[a] what will you do in the end,
when your neighbor puts you to shame?(A)
9 Argue your case with your neighbor directly,
and do not disclose another’s secret,(B)
10 or else someone who hears you will bring shame upon you,
and your ill repute will have no end.

King James Version
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10 Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
