Proverbs 25:6-8
Wycliffe Bible
6 Appear thou not glorious before the king, and stand thou not in the place of great men.
7 For it is better, that it be said to thee, Ascend thou hither (Come thou up here), than that thou be made low before the prince.
8 Bring thou not forth soon those things in strife, which thine eyes saw; lest afterward thou mayest not amend, when thou hast made thy friend unhonest. (Bring thou not soon forth those things in strife, or an argument, which thine eyes saw; lest afterward thou cannot correct it, when thou hast dishonoured thy friend.)

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.
