5 Take away the wicked [from] before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great [men]:
7 For better [it is] that it be said to thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldst be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thy eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest [thou know not] what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
9 Debate thy cause with thy neighbor [himself]; and reveal not a secret to another:
10 Lest he that heareth [it] put thee to shame, and thy infamy turn not away.
11 A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold in pictures of silver.
