7 for it is better for him to say to you, "Come up here,"

than to put you lower before a prince,

whom your eyes have seen.

8 Do not go out hastily to litigation,

or what will you do afterward

when your neighbor puts you to shame?

9 When you argue a case with your neighbor,

do not reveal the secret of another person,

10 lest the one who hears it put you to shame

and your infamy will never go away.
