Proverbs 25:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Do not put yourself forward in the king’s presence
    or stand in the place of the great;
⁷ for it is better to be told, “Come up here,”
    than to be put lower in the presence of the prince.
What your eyes have seen
⁸     do not hastily bring into court;
for^[a] what will you do in the end,
    when your neighbor puts you to shame?
