Proverbs 25:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 25:8

6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of the great;

7 ^aFor it is better that he say to you,
“Come up here,”
Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.

8 ^aDo not go hastily to¹ court;
For what will you do in the end,
When your neighbor has put you to shame?

9 ^aDebate your case with your neighbor,
And do not disclose the secret to another;

10 Lest he who hears it expose your shame,
And¹ your reputation be ruined.
