Proverbs 25:7-9

American Standard Version

⁷ For better is it that it be said unto thee, Come up hither,
Than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom thine eyes have seen.
⁸ Go not forth hastily to strive,
^[a]Lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof,
When thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
⁹ Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself,
^[b]And disclose not the secret of another;
