Proverbs 25:5-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. Remove the wicked from the presence of the king,and his throne is made firm through justice.

6. Claim no honor in the king’s presence,nor occupy the place of superiors;

7. For it is better to be told, “Come up closer!”than to be humbled before the prince.

8. What your eyes have seendo not bring forth too quickly against an opponent;For what will you do later onwhen your neighbor puts you to shame?
