“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.”
Proverbs 25:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 25:8
Don't hastily go to court, lest you not know what to do when your neighbor shames you. The Hebrew 'yahtsa' (go out) to 'riyb' (legal dispute) warns against impulsive litigation. Hasty lawsuits often backfire. Before initiating conflict, ensure you can sustain it. What appears as your neighbor's clear wrong might prove complicated under examination. Wisdom requires patient evaluation before legal action. Impulsive litigation often produces regret.
