Proverbs 25:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Don’t ·brag [honor yourself] to the king
    and ·act as if you are great [^Ldon’t stand in the place of important people].
⁷ It is better for him to ·give you a higher position [^Lsay to you, “Come up here”]
    than to bring you down in front of the prince [Luke 14:7–11].

Because of something you have seen,
⁸     do not quickly take someone to court.
What will you do later
    when your neighbor ·proves you wrong [^Lhumiliates/shames you]?
