Proverbs 25:6
Berean Standard Bible
Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of great men;
Context
4Remove the dross from the silver,
and a vessel for a silversmith will come forth. 5Remove the wicked from the king’s presence,
and his throne will be established in righteousness. 6Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
and do not stand in the place of great men; 7for it is better that he says to you, “Come up here!”
than that you should be demoted in the presence of the prince.
Even what * you have seen with your own eyes, 8do not bring hastily to court.
Otherwise, what will you do in the end
when your neighbor puts you to shame?
