Proverbs 25:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Remove the wicked from the king’s presence,
    and his throne will be established in righteousness.

⁶ Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
    or stand in the place of important people,
⁷     because it is better that he say to you,
    “Come up here,”
    than to be demoted before a ruler.
