Proverbs 25:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Appear not glorious before the king, and stand not in the place of great men.

⁷ For it is better that it should be said to thee: Come up hither; than that thou shouldst be humbled before the prince.

⁸ The things which thy eyes have seen, utter not hastily in a quarrel: lest afterward thou mayst not be able to make amends, when thou hast dishonoured thy friend.
