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.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 25 of Proverbs. The first part advises against rushing to bring a dispute before authority without first considering it carefully. Direct and private correction protects the relationship better than revealing secrets. The images of a word spoken at the right time and a faithful messenger present wise communication as something precious. Patience can also persuade a ruler, showing that the strength of a word does not depend solely on volume or pressure.

Fahre nicht bald heraus, zu zanken; denn was willst du hernach machen, wenn dich dein Nächster beschämt hat?
No salgas a pleito presto, No sea que no sepas qué hacer al fin, Después que tu prójimo te haya dejado confuso.
Ne te hâte pas d'entrer en contestation, De peur qu'à la fin tu ne saches que faire, Lorsque ton prochain t'aura outragé.
Non uscir subitamente alla contesa; Che talora alla fin d’essa tu non faccia qualche cosa, Quando il tuo prossimo ti avrà fatta vergogna.
Não te precipites em litigar, para que depois, ao fim, fiques sem ação, quando teu próximo te puser em apuros.
不要冒失出去與人爭訟 , 免得你的鄰舍羞辱你, 最後你就不知怎麼做。
