Proverbs25:6

6 Put not forth thy self in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men .

Heb. Do not magnifie, or, glorifie thy self, by vaunting speech or carriage, but, which is implied, carry thy self humbly and modestly, which is most pleasing to Kings, and most becoming and safe for thee.

Do not affect nor use frequent and familiar Society with greater Persons than thy self, whereby thou maist easily involve thy self in much guilt, and expose thy self to envy or contempt, and to many other inconveniences.

Marginal references: Heb. set not out thy glory.
