Proverbs 25:9

Proverbs 25:9 New Century Version (NCV)

If you have an argument with your neighbor, don’t tell other people what was said.

Argue your case with your neighbor himself [before you go to court]; And do not reveal another’s secret, [Matt 18:15]

In the heat of an argument, don’t betray confidences; Word is sure to get around, and no one will trust you.

Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; And discover not a secret to another

Argue your case with your neighbor, And do not reveal the secret of another

Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself, And disclose not the secret of another

If you take your neighbor to court, do not betray another’s confidence

Debate your case with your neighbor, And do not disclose the secret to another

When arguing with your neighbor, don’t betray another person’s secret.

Don’t reveal another person’s secret just to prove a point in an argument, or you could be accused of being a gossip

Argue your case with your neighbor himself, and do not reveal another’s secret
