King James Version
Proverbs 25:6-8
King James Version
6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

Proverbs 25:6-8
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.
8 (B)Do not go hastily to [a]court;
For what will you do in the end,
When your neighbor has put you to shame?

6 Förhäv dig inte inför kungen
och ställ dig inte
på de storas plats.
7 (A) Det är bättre att han säger till dig:
”Kom upp hit!”[a]
än att du flyttas ner
för en förnämare man
som dina ögon har sett[b].
8 Var inte för snabb
att starta en rättstvist,
för vad gör du längre fram
om din motpart skämmer
ut dig?
