In context
6 Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not.
7 For better that he hath said to thee, `Come thou up hither,' Than that he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth to strive, haste, turn, What dost thou in its latter end, When thy neighbour causeth thee to blush?
9 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel of another reveal not,
10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame, And thine evil report turn not back.
11 Apples of gold in imagery of silver, Is the word spoken at its fit times.
12 A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, Is the wise reprover to an attentive ear.
