Proverbs 25:5-7
Christian Standard Bible
5 Remove the wicked from the king’s presence,(A)
and his throne will be established in righteousness.(B)
6 Don’t boast about yourself before the king,
and don’t stand in the place of the great;
7 for it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here!”
than to demote you in plain view of a noble.[a](C)
