Proverbs 25:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible
8 If you see something bad happen, do not quickly go and tell a judge. Your neighbour may show that you are wrong. Then you will be ashamed. You will not know what to do.
9 If you argue with your neighbour, do not tell his secrets to other people. 10 If you do that, everyone will know about it. Then you will be ashamed for your whole life.

nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
8 ska du inte vara för snabb med att dra upp i rätten.
För vad ska du göra
om din motpart får dig att skämmas?
9 Gör upp med din medmänniska,
men bryt inte någon annans förtroende,
10 för den som hör det kan då skämma ut dig
och du blir aldrig av med ditt dåliga rykte.
Proverbs 25:8-10
New International Version
8 do not bring[a] hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
if your neighbor puts you to shame?(A)
9 If you take your neighbor to court,
do not betray another’s confidence,
10 or the one who hears it may shame you
and the charge against you will stand.
