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;
7 for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
whom your eyes have seen.
Proverbs 25:6-7

6 Don’t boast about yourself before the king,
and don’t stand in the place of the great;
