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.
8 do not hastily bring into court, for
8 Don't jump to conclusions - there may be a perfectly good explanation for what you just saw.
8 Do not go hastily to court; For what will you do in the end, When your neighbor has put you to shame?
8 don't be in a hurry to go to court. For what will you do in the end if your neighbor deals you a shameful defeat?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 25:8
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.
