Proverbs 25:5-8 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

5. take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

6. Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of the great;

7. for better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes see.

8. Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
