Haste » Not being hasty
Don't take a matter to court hastily. Otherwise, what will you do afterwards if your opponent humiliates you? Make your case with your opponent without revealing another's secret; otherwise, the one who hears will disgrace you, and you'll never live it down.
for anger abides in the heart of fools.
Don’t be too quick to appoint anyone as an elder, and don’t share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

and actions are weighed by Him.
Guard your step when you go to the house of God. Better to draw near in obedience than to offer the sacrifice as fools do, for they are ignorant and do wrong. Do not be hasty to speak, and do not be impulsive to make a speech before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
