Proverbs 25:5-7
English Standard Version
5 take away (A)the wicked from the presence of the king,
and his (B)throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Do not put yourself forward in the king's presence
or stand in the place of the great,
7 for (C)it is better to be told, “Come up here,”
than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.

Proverbs 25:5-7
Good News Translation

6 (A)When you stand before the king, don't try to impress him and pretend to be important. 7 It is better to be asked to take a higher position than to be told to give your place to someone more important.

Mudre izreke 25:5-7
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
5 Ukloni zle savjetnike od kralja,
i njegova vladavina bit će pravedna.
6 Ne hvali se pred kraljem
i nemoj stajati s velikanima.
7 Bolje da te kralj pozove naviše
nego da te ponizi pred uglednicima.
Proverbs 25:5-7
New International Version
5 remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,(A)
and his throne will be established(B) through righteousness.(C)
6 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”(D)
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
