Proverbs 25:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible

6 Do not promote your majesty in the presence of the king,
And in the place of great men do not stand;
7 For (A)it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of a noble,
Whom your eyes have seen.

8 Do not go out (B)hastily to plead your case;
Lest, what will you do in [a]the end,
When your neighbor humiliates you?

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.

What you have seen with your eyes
8     do not bring[a] hastily to court,
for what will you do in the end
    if your neighbor puts you to shame?(B)
