Proverbs 25:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible
7 For (A)it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of a noble,
Whom your eyes have seen.
8 Do not go out (B)hastily to plead your case;
Lest, what will you do in [a]the end,
When your neighbor humiliates you?
9 (C)Plead your case with your neighbor,
And (D)do not reveal the secret of another,
