and (E)the smith has material for a vessel;
5 take away (F)the wicked from the presence of the king,
and his (G)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 (H)it is better to be told, “Come up here,”
than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.

and material for[a] a vessel comes forth for the silversmith.
5 Purge the wicked from the king’s presence,
and his throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Don’t magnify yourself in the presence of a king,
and don’t pretend to be in the company of famous men,

in the presence of an official.
