Proverbs
Chapters 25:5-11
New International Version Anglicized
5remove wicked officials from the king’s presence,and his throne will be established through righteousness.
6Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,and do not claim a place among his great men;
7it 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?
9If you take your neighbour to court,do not betray another’s confidence,
10or the one who hears it may shame youand the charge against you will stand.
11Like apples of gold in settings of silveris a ruling rightly given.
