Proverbs 25:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷ 
For it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.^(A)

⁸ 
Do not rush out to argue your case [before magistrates or judges];
Otherwise what will you do in the end [when your case is lost and]
When your neighbor (opponent) humiliates you?^(B)
9 
Argue your case with your neighbor himself [before you go to court];
And do not reveal another’s secret,^(C)
