Proverbs 25:7
For better it is 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.
KJV
Melius est enim ut dicatur tibi : Ascende huc, quam ut humilieris coram principe.
Vulgate

LXX
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.
