New International Version (NIV)

6Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,

and do not claim a place among his great men;

6Do not boast in the presence of the king,

And do not stand in the same place as great people;

6Do not be boastfully ambitious and claim honor in the presence of the king,

And do not stand in the place of great men;

6Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,

and do not stand in the place of great men;

6Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king,

And stand not in the place of great men:

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

6Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king,

or claim a place among great men;

6Don’t brag in front of the king.

Don’t claim a place among his great men.

6When you stand in front of the king, do not be proud.

Do not stand where the important people stand.

6Do not honor yourself before a king, || And do not stand in the place of the great.
