Proverbs 25:4-10

⁴Take the drosse from the siluer, and there shall proceede a vessell for the finer.

⁵Take away the wicked from the King, and his throne shall be stablished in righteousnes.

⁶Boast not thy selfe before the King, and stand not in the place of great men.

⁷For it is better, that it be saide vnto thee, Come vp hither, then thou to be put lower in the presece of the prince whom thine eyes haue seene.

⁸Goe not foorth hastily to strife, least thou know not what to doe in the ende thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

⁹Debate thy matter with thy neighbour, and discouer not the secret to another,

¹⁰Least he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamie doe not cease.
