Proverbs 30:10
Accuse not a servant unto his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
In context
7 Two things have I required of thee; Deny me them not before I die: 8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with food convenient for me: 9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? Or lest I be poor, and steal, And take the name of my God in vain.
10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, Lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, And doth not bless their mother. 12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, And yet is not washed from their filthiness. 13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
