Proverbs 22:28-23:2

New International Version - UK

²⁸ Do not move an ancient boundary stone
    set up by your ancestors.

²⁹ Do you see someone skilled in their work?
    They will serve before kings;
    they will not serve before officials of low rank.

23 When you sit to dine with a ruler,
    note well what^[a] is before you,
² and put a knife to your throat
    if you are given to gluttony.
