Proverbs 25:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 If you remove the wicked from the king’s presence,
his throne will be founded on righteousness.
6 [a]Do not push yourself forward in the king’s presence
or take a place where the great assemble.
7 For it is better to be told, “Come up closer,”
than to be humiliated in the presence of the prince.
