"Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:"
— Proverbs 25:6, King James Version
“Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king, And stand not in the place of great men: ”
“Don't exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place among great men;”
“Do not honor yourself before the king, and do not stand in the place of great men;”
“Appear not glorious before the king, and stand not in the place of great men.”
“Do not take glory for yourself before the king, and do not put yourself in the place of the great:”
“Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:”

Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
