Proverbs 25:9 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 25:9
Debate your case with your neighbor privately; don't reveal another's secret. The Hebrew 'riyb' (dispute/plead) and 'galah sowd' (reveal secret/expose confidence) commands private resolution before public exposure. If offended, confront privately first. Don't gossip or expose secrets during disputes. This wisdom protects both parties' reputations while seeking resolution. Jesus taught identically: 'If thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone' (Matthew 18:15).
