Proverbs 25:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version

6 Do not honor yourself in a king’s presence.
Do not stand in a place reserved for great people,
7 because it is better to be told, “Come up here,”
than for you to be humiliated before a ruler
    whom your eyes have seen.[a]

8 Do not be in a hurry to go to court.
Otherwise, what will you do afterward,
when your neighbor humiliates you?

Footnotes

  1. Proverbs 25:7 Many translations associate this line with verse 8: What you have seen with your eye do not bring quickly into court. Manuscript evidence supports a connection with verse 7, but sense seems to favor including it with verse 8.
