Proverbs 25:5 BBE

³  The heaven is high and the earth is deep, and the hearts of kings may not be searched out.

⁴  Take away the waste from silver, and a vessel will come out for the silver-worker.

⁵  Take away evil-doers from before the king, and the seat of his power will be made strong in righteousness.

⁶  Do not take glory for yourself before the king, and do not put yourself in the place of the great:

⁷  For it is better to have it said to you, Come up here; than for you to be put down in a lower place before the ruler.
