Listen to Proverbi 25:6
6 Non fare il vanaglorioso in presenza del re, E non istar nel luogo de’ grandi;

Proverbi 25:6 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 25:6

Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king
Intrude not thyself into his presence; or rush not into it in a rude and irreverent way; or be not ambitious to be a courtier: or "do not appear glorious", as the Vulgate Latin version renders it; or "honour thyself"


FOOTNOTES:

F1 as the word signifies; do not appear too gay at court, or make too splendid an appearance, above thy fortune and station; and which may seem to vie with and outdo the king himself, which will not be well taken; princes love not to be equalled, and much less excelled; and stand not in the place of great [men];
where the king's family or his nobles should stand, his ministers and counsellors of state, and those that wait upon him.
F1 (rdhtt la) "ne tibi assumas honorem", Cocceius; "ne honores teipsum", Michaelis; "ne magnificum te facias", Schultens; "ne magnifices te", Pagninus, Mercerus, Gejerus.

Proverbi 25:6 In-Context

4 Togli le schiume dell’argento, E ne riuscirà un vaso all’orafo.
5 Rimuovi l’empio d’innanzi al re, E il trono di esso sarà stabilito con giustizia.
6 Non fare il vanaglorioso in presenza del re, E non istar nel luogo de’ grandi;
7 Perciocchè val maglio che ti si dica: Sali qua; Che se tu fossi abbassato davanti al principe, Che gli occhi tuoi hanno veduto.
8 Non uscir subitamente alla contesa; Che talora alla fin d’essa tu non faccia qualche cosa, Quando il tuo prossimo ti avrà fatta vergogna.
