“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.”
King James Version (KJV)
25:6 Stand not - Do not affect frequent and familiar society with greater persons than thyself.
25:9 Debate - If thou hast any quarrel with him, first try to compose it by private discourse with him. Discover not - Let not heat of contention provoke thee to divulge any of his secrets committed to thy trust.
25:10 Lest he - Reproach thee for thy gross violation of the laws of prudence, justice and friendship.
