Proverbios 18

The man who first puts his cause before the judge seems to be in the right; but then his neighbour comes and puts his cause in its true light.

El primero en su propia causa parece justo; y su adversario viene, y le sondea.

He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

He who pleads his cause first seems right— until another comes and questions him.
