Proverbs 25:8-9

8 ado not hastily bring into court,
for
Hebrew or else
what will you do in the end,
when your neighbor puts you to shame?
9 cArgue your case with your neighbor himself,
and do not reveal another’s secret,

Matthew 5:23-26

23 dSo if eyou are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 fCome to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. 26Truly, I say to you, gyou will never get out until you have paid the last penny.
