"Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself, And disclose not the secret of another; "
— Proverbs 25:9, American Standard Version
“Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:”
“Debate your case with your neighbor, and don't betray the confidence of another;”
“When you argue a case with your neighbor, do not reveal the secret of another person,”
“Treat thy cause with thy friend, and discover not the secret to a stranger:”
“Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another:”
“Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:”
Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king, And stand not in the place of great men:
For better is it that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, Than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom thine eyes have seen.
Go not forth hastily to strive, Lestthou know notwhat to do in the end thereof, When thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself, And disclose not the secret of another;
Lest he that heareth it revile thee, And thine infamy turn not away.
A word fitly spoken Islikeapples of gold in network of silver.
Asan ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, So isa wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
