Proverbs 25:2-3

Proverbs 25:6-7
World English Bible
6 Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
or claim a place among great men;

than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
whom your eyes have seen.

Proverbs 31:4-7
World English Bible
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine,
nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
5 lest they drink, and forget the law,
and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish,
and wine to the bitter in soul.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty,
and remember his misery no more.
