Proverbs 25:6 DBY

⁴  Take away the dross from the silver, and there cometh forth a vessel for the refiner:

⁵  take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

⁶  Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of the great;

⁷  for better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes see.

⁸  Go not forth hastily to strive, lest [thou know not] what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
