Bible verse
do not bring hastily to court. Otherwise, what will you do in the end when your neighbor puts you to shame?
Proverbs 25:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 25.
4 Remove the dross from the silver, and a vessel for a silversmith will come forth.
5 Remove the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of great men;
7 for it is better that he says to you, “Come up here!” than that you should be demoted in the presence of the prince. Even what you have seen with your own eyes,
8 do not bring hastily to court. Otherwise, what will you do in the end when your neighbor puts you to shame?
9 Argue your case with your neighbor without betraying another’s confidence,
10 lest the one who hears may disgrace you, and your infamy never go away.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear.
