Proverbs 25:7
| ← Proverbs 25:6 | Proverbs 25:7 (KJV) | Proverbs 25:8 → |
|---|---|---|
Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
|
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 have seen.
|
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.
