Proverbs 25:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷     because it is better that he say to you,
    “Come up here,”
    than to be demoted before a ruler.

What your eyes see, ⁸ don’t be quick to quarrel over;
    what will you do in the future when your neighbor shames you?
⁹ Argue it out with your neighbor,
    and don’t give away someone’s secret.
