In context
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.
11 Golden fruit in figured silver baskets, is a word spoken on fitting occasion.
12 A ring of gold, and a vessel of precious metal, is a wise reprover, on a hearing ear.
