Proverbs 25:8-10

8Do not rush out to argue your case [before magistrates or judges]; Otherwise what will you do in the end [when your case is lost and] When your neighbor (opponent) humiliates you?

9Argue your case with your neighbor himself [before you go to court]; And do not reveal another’s secret,

10Or he who hears it will shame you And the rumor about you [and your action in court] will have no end.
