Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence, and do not claim a place among his great men; it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,” than for him to humiliate you before his nobles. Proverbs 25:6-7 NIV
Jesus will teach a similar lesson in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 14:7-11) as he states, "For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
Wisdom is wisdom. Truth is truth.
Don't let anyone convince you that it is relative.
Truth stands the test of time.
We can't leave these chapters without also taking note:
As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.
Proverbs 26:11 NIV
Some bits of wisdom can leave an impression.
Somethings are just so tempting when can't help ourselves - next time you are tmepted be reminded of the dog . . .
and just stop . . . don't be the fool.
