Proverbs 25:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 do not hastily bring out to court,
for[a] what will you do at its end,
when your neighbor puts you to shame?
9 Argue your argument with your neighbor himself,
the secret of another do not disclose,
10 lest he who hears shame you
and your ill repute will not end.
