Proverbs 25:4-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ Take away the ^(A)dross from the silver,
And there comes out a vessel for the ^(B)smith;
⁵ Take away the ^(C)wicked before the king,
And his ^(D)throne will be established in righteousness.
⁶ Do not claim honor in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of great men;
