Proverbs 25:8-10
English Standard Version

8     (A)do not hastily bring into court,[a]
for[b] what will you do in the end,
    when your neighbor puts you to shame?
9 (B)Argue your case with your neighbor himself,
    and do not reveal another's secret,
10 lest he who hears you bring shame upon you,
    and your ill repute have no end.
