Proverbs 25:6-7
New King James Version
6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of the great;
7 (A)For it is better that he say 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

and in the place of the great ones do not stand.

than he humble you before a noble.
