Proverbs 25:5-7

1599 Geneva Bible

⁵ Take ^[a]away the wicked from the King, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

⁶ Boast not thyself before the King, and stand not in the place of great men.

^7 (A)For it is better, that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, than thou to be put lower in the presence of the Prince whom thine eyes have seen.
