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
Authorized (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.
