Pensée juive sur Les Proverbes 25:6

אַל־תִּתְהַדַּ֥ר לִפְנֵי־מֶ֑לֶךְ וּבִמְק֥וֹם גְּ֝דֹלִ֗ים אַֽל־תַּעֲמֹֽד׃

Ne te pavane pas devant le roi et n’occupe pas la place des grands.

Duties of the Heart

When one recognizes the infinite greatness of the Creator and His exalted omnipotence and supreme wisdom, he will submit to Him and become humbled before Him. And he will learn from the verse: "Do not glorify yourself before a king" (Mishlei 25:6) and draw the inference - how much more so before the King of kings, and the Master of masters, who is exalted beyond any likeness or comparison, as Chana said: "There is none as holy as the L-ord, For there is none like You" (Shmuel 2:2).
