Do you see a man skilled in his work?
He will stand in the presence of kings.
He will not stand in the presence of unknown men.

At the heights overlooking the road,
at the crossroads, she takes her stand.

The wicked are overthrown and perish,
but the house of the righteous will stand.

The house of the wicked will be destroyed,
but the tent of the upright will stand.

Don’t brag about yourself before the king,
and don’t stand in the place of the great;
