Proverbs 25:8 in Context — Proverbs 25

6 Não honres a ti mesmo perante o rei, nem te ponhas no lugar dos grandes;

7 Porque é melhor que te digam: Sobe aqui;Do que te rebaixem perante a face do príncipe, a quem teus olhos viram.

8 Não sejas apressado para entrar numa disputa; senão, o que farás se no fim teu próximo te envergonhar?

9 Disputa tua causa com teu próximo, mas não reveles segredo de outra pessoa.

10 Para que não te envergonhe aquele que ouvir; pois tua má fama não pode ser desfeita.
