Proverbs 25:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ Don’t brag to the king
    and act as if you are great.
⁷ It is better for him to give you a higher position
    than to bring you down in front of the prince.

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?
