Proverbs 25:5-7

Darby Translation

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.
