Proverbs 25:6-8

1599 Geneva Bible

⁶ Boast not thyself before the King, and stand not in the place of great men.

^7 (A)For it is better, that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, than thou to be put lower in the presence of the Prince whom thine eyes have seen.

⁸ Go not forth hastily to strife, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
