SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:10
¶ No acuses al siervo ante su señor, para que no te maldiga, y peques.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 30:10
Verse 10. Accuse not a servant ] Do not bring a false accusation against a servant, lest thou be found guilty of the falsehood, and he curse thee for having traduced his character, and in his turn traduce thine. In general, do not meddle with other people's servants.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. Accuse not a servant unto his master , etc.] Wrongly, rashly, and without any foundation, nor for any trifling thing; unless it be in a case of moment and importance, when his master’s business is sadly neglected, or he is injured in his property by him: especially care should be taken not to calumniate a servant, to abuse him with the tongue, as the word f851 signifies; the circumstance he is in should be considered, as a servant; and how severe masters are apt to be towards them, and therefore little matters should be hid from them; and much less should they be aggravated, and least of all should falsehoods be told of them. So Doeg the Edomite accused David to Saul, and the Pharisees accused the disciples of Christ to their Master, ( 1 Samuel 22:9) ( Matthew 15:2); the apostle’s advice is good, and agrees with Agur’s, ( Romans 14:4); lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty ; or, “and thou shouldest sin” f852 ; that is, afterwards; and so the curse come upon thee he has wished for: or the sense is, lest he should curse thee before men, and hurt thy character and reputation; or imprecate a curse from the Lord, which he may suffer to come upon thee for sin. Aben Ezra interprets this of a servant, that flies from Heathen countries to the land of Israel, to be made a proselyte of; who should not be discovered, and returned to his old master.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10 - Slander not a servant to his master, accuse him not in small matters to make mischief.
