26 It is also not good to (A)punish the righteous,
Nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

or to flog leaders for being honest.
Proverbs 25:6-7
Legacy Standard Bible
6 Do not promote your majesty in the presence of the king,
And in the place of great men do not stand;
7 For (A)it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of a noble,
Whom your eyes have seen.
Proverbs 25:6-7
New Living Translation
6 Don’t demand an audience with the king
or push for a place among the great.
7 It’s better to wait for an invitation to the head table
than to be sent away in public disgrace.
