⁶ Do not exalt thyself in the presence of Melech, and stand not in the makom (place) of gedolim;

⁷ For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up here, than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the noble whom thine eynayim have seen.

⁸ Go not forth hastily to bring a lawsuit, lest thou know not what to do in the acharit thereof, when thy re’a hath put thee to shame.
