Proverbs 25:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

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

⁶ Do not boast before the king, and do not stand in the place of great men.

⁷ For it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here”, than for you to be lowered in the presence of the Prince whom your eyes have seen.
