it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”(A)
    than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.

    do not bring[a] hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
    if your neighbor puts you to shame?(B)

    do not betray another’s confidence,
10 or the one who hears it may shame you
    and the charge against you will stand.
