4 Remove the dross from the silver,and a vessel will come out for the refiner.
5 Remove the wicked from the king’s presence,and his throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king,or stand in the place of important people,
7 because it is better that he say to you,"Come up here,"than to be demoted before a ruler.What your eyes see,
8 don’t be quick to quarrel over;what will you do in the future when your neighbor shames you?
9 Argue it out with your neighbor,and don’t give away someone’s secret.
10 Otherwise, the one who hears it will vilify you;the slander against you will never stop.
