8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest [thou know not] what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. 9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbour, but reveal not the secret of another; 10 lest he that heareth [it] disgrace thee, and thine evil report turn not away.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 25:8-10
Commentary on Proverbs 25:8-10
(Read Proverbs 25:8-10)
To be hasty in beginning strife, will bring into difficulties. War must at length end, and might better be prevented. It is so in private quarrels; do all thou canst to settle the matter.
