Proverbs 25:6-8

Darby Translation

⁶ Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of the great;

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 see.

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.
