4 Remove the dross from the silver,and a silversmith can produce a vessel;
5 remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,and his throne will be established through righteousness.
6 Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,and do not claim a place among his great men;
7 it is better for him to say to you, ‘Come up here,’than for him to humiliate you before his nobles.What you have seen with your eyes
8 do not bring hastily to court,for what will you do in the endif your neighbour puts you to shame?
9 If you take your neighbour to court,do not betray another’s confidence,
10 or the one who hears it may shame youand the charge against you will stand.
