6. Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,And do not stand in the place of the great;
7. For it is better that he say to you,“Come up here,”Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,Whom your eyes have seen.
8. Do not go hastily to court;For what will you do in the end,When your neighbor has put you to shame?
9. Debate your case with your neighbor,And do not disclose the secret to another;
10. Lest he who hears it expose your shame,And your reputation be ruined.
