Proverbs 25:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ It is better to be asked to take a higher position than to be told to give your place to someone more important.

⁸ Don't be too quick to go to court about something you have seen. If another witness later proves you wrong, what will you do then?

⁹ If you and your neighbor have a difference of opinion, settle it between yourselves and do not reveal any secrets.
