Proverbs 25:6

Contemporary English Version

⁶^(A) Don't try to seem important
in the court of a ruler.

Proverbs 25:6

New International Version

⁶Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among his great men;

⁷It's better for the ruler
to give you a high position
than for you to be embarrassed
in front of royal officials.
Be sure you are right

⁷it 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
