Bible Verses About Adjudication at Law

The beginning of strife isas when one letteth out water: Therefore leave off contention, before there is quarrelling.

It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; But every fool will be quarrelling.

Go not forth hastily to strive, Lestthou know notwhat to do in the end thereof, When thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.

Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself, And disclose not the secret of another;

Lest he that heareth it revile thee, And thine infamy turn not away.

Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
