Proverbs 25:6-8

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁶ ¶ Do not praise thyself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of great men;

⁷ for it is better that it be said unto thee, Come up here than that thou should be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

⁸ ¶ Do not go forth hastily to strive lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof when thy neighbour has put thee to shame.
