4 Remove the dross from the silver,and material for the silversmith will emerge;
5 remove the wicked from before the king,and his throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Do not honor yourself before the king,and do not stand in the place of great men;
7 for it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,”than to put you lower before a prince,whom your eyes have seen.
8 Do not go out hastily to litigation,or what will you do afterwardwhen your neighbor puts you to shame?
9 When you argue a case with your neighbor,do not reveal the secret of another person,
10 lest the one who hears it put you to shameand your infamy will never go away.
