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

Proverbs 25:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
8 Do not be in a hurry to go to court.
Otherwise, what will you do afterward,
when your neighbor humiliates you?
9 Argue your case with your neighbor,
but do not reveal someone else’s secret.
10 If you do, the person who hears it will shame you,
and your bad reputation will never leave you.
