Proverbs 25:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷It is better to be asked to take a higher position than to be told to give your place to someone more important.

⁸Don't be too quick to go to court about something you have seen. If another witness later proves you wrong, what will you do then?

⁹If you and your neighbor have a difference of opinion, settle it between yourselves and do not reveal any secrets.

Proverbs 25:7-9

New International Version

⁷it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”^(A)
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.

What you have seen with your eyes
⁸ do not bring^[a] hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
if your neighbor puts you to shame?^(B)

⁹If you take your neighbor to court,
do not betray another’s confidence,
