Proverbs 25:9
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?
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.
