ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૫:૯
તારા દાવા વિષે તારા પ્રતિવાદી સાથે જ વિવાદ કર અને બીજાની ગુપ્ત વાત ઉઘાડી ન કર,
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २५:९
अपने पड़ोसी के साथ वाद-विवाद एकान्त में करना और पराए का भेद न खोलना;

In context

7for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,” than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen.

8Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?

9Debate your case with your neighbor, and don’t betray the confidence of another,

10lest one who hears it put you to shame, and your bad reputation never depart.

11A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
