Proverbs 25:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ Do not promote yourself before the king,
    and in the place of the great ones do not stand.
⁷ For it is better that he say to you, “Ascend here,”
    than he humble you before a noble.
What your eyes have seen,
⁸ do not hastily bring out to court,
    for^[a] what will you do at its end,
    when your neighbor puts you to shame?
