Bible Verses About Adjudication at Law

The beginning of quarrels is as when one letteth out water: and before he suffereth reproach, he forsaketh judgment.

It is an honour for a man to separate himself from quarrels: but all fools are meddling with reproaches.

The things which thy eyes have seen, utter not hastily in a quarrel: lest afterward thou mayst not be able to make amends, when thou hast dishonoured thy friend.

Treat thy cause with thy friend, and discover not the secret to a stranger:

Lest he insult over thee, when he hath heard it, and cease not to upbraid thee. Grace and friendship deliver a man: keep these for thyself, lest thou fall under reproach.

Be at agreement with thy adversary betimes, whilst thou art in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
