Proverbs 25:7-9
Expanded Bible
7 It is better for him to ·give you a higher position [L say to you, “Come up here”]
than to bring you down in front of the prince [Luke 14:7–11].
Because of something you have seen,
8 do not quickly take someone to court.
What will you do later
when your neighbor ·proves you wrong [L humiliates/shames you]?
9 ·If you have an argument with [L Make your accusations against] your neighbor,
·don’t tell other people what was said [keep it a secret from others].
