4 Quita las escorias de la plata, y saldrá vaso al fundidor.

5 Aparta al impío de la presencia del rey, y su trono se afirmará en justicia.

6 No te alabes delante del rey, ni estés en el lugar de los grandes:

7 Porque mejor es que se te diga, Sube acá, que no que seas humillado delante del príncipe que miraron tus ojos.

8 No salgas á pleito presto, no sea que no sepas qué hacer al fin, después que tu prójimo te haya dejado confuso.
