Proverbs 25
August 26th, 2009
Verses 7b-8:
What you have seen with your eyes
8 do not bring hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
if your neighbor puts you to shame?
I think the implication here is that we shouldn’t be quick to jump to conclusions. We need to carefully investigate the matter and the circumstances that surround it before going off and “tattling” about it to everyone.
This seems to be a good lesson in self-control and the wisdom of patience.
