8 Go not forth hastily to strive, Lest [thou know not] what to do in the end thereof, When thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 25:8

Commentary on Proverbs 25:8-10

(Read Proverbs 25:8-10)

To be hasty in beginning strife, will bring into difficulties. War must at length end, and might better be prevented. It is so in private quarrels; do all thou canst to settle the matter.
