Matthew Henry Commentary Proverbs 25:6-7

"Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king, And stand not in the place of great men: For better is it that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, Than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom thine eyes have seen." — Proverbs 25:6-7 (ASV)

Religion teaches us humility and self-denial. The one who has seen the glory of the Lord in Christ Jesus will feel his own unworthiness.
