5 Remove a lawless man from before the king, that his throne, may be established in righteousness.
6 Do not honour thyself before a king, nor, in the place of great men, do thou stand;
7 For better it be said to thee, Come up hither,—than that thou be put lower down before a noble, whom thine own eyes, have beheld.
8 Do not go forth to strive in haste,—lest [thou know not] what to do in the latter end thereof, when thy neighbour, hath put thee to shame.
