Proverbs 25:5-7
New King James Version
5 Take away the wicked from before the king,
And his throne will be established in (A)righteousness.
6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of the great;
7 (B)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 25:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 Take away the (A)wicked before the king,
And his (B)throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Do not boast in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the same place [a]as great people;
7 For (C)it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.
