Proverbs 25:6-8
Easy-to-Read Version
6 Don’t brag about yourself before the king and pretend you are someone important. 7 It is much better for the king to invite you to take a more important position than to embarrass you in front of his officials.
8 Don’t be too quick to tell a judge about something you saw. You will be embarrassed if someone else proves you wrong.

Proverbs 25:6-8
New International Version
6 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”(A)
than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.
