Proverbs 25:7-9

New Life Version

⁷ For it is better to be told, “Come up here,” than to be put down in front of the ruler whom your eyes have seen.

⁸ Do not go out in a hurry to argue. Or what will you do in the end, when your neighbor puts you to shame? ⁹ Argue your side of the problem with your neighbor, but do not tell the secret of another.
