²⁶ It isn’t good to fine those who aren’t guilty.
    So it certainly isn’t good to whip officials just because they are honest.

⁶ Don’t brag in front of the king.
    Don’t claim a place among his great men.
⁷ Let the king say to you, “Come up here.”
    That’s better than for him to shame you in front of his nobles.
