Proverbs 25:7 in other translations
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 have seen.
for it is better that he says to you, “Come up here!” than that you should be demoted in the presence of the prince. Even what you have seen with your own eyes,
for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,” than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen.

In context
4 Remove the dross from the silver, and there cometh forth, to the refiner, a vessel:
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.
9 Thy contention, urge thou with thy neighbour, and, the secret of another, do not reveal:
10 Lest he that heareth expose thee, and, the report concerning thee, turn not away.
