⁶ Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:

⁷ For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

²⁵ He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat.

²³ A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
