Proverbs 25:6-8

Common English Bible

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.

What your eyes see, ⁸ don’t be quick to quarrel over;
    what will you do in the future when your neighbor shames you?
