Proverbs 25:5-7

Legacy Standard Bible

⁵ Take away the ^(A)wicked before the king,
And his ^(B)throne will be established in righteousness.
⁶ Do not promote your majesty in the presence of the king,
And in the place of great men do not stand;
⁷ For ^(C)it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of a noble,
Whom your eyes have seen.
