Proverbs 25:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ In the same way, you should keep wicked people away from the king. Then he will rule in a right way.

⁶ When you stand in front of the king, do not be proud. Do not stand where the important people stand. ⁷ Then it will be good if the king says to you, ‘Come and sit up here, near me.’ That would be better than if he sends you away while his officers watch.
