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.
Es mejor que te digan 'Sube y siéntate en un lugar más alto' que ser avergonzado al ser movido a un asiento inferior delante de un gobernante que puedes ver.
Es mejor ser humilde y recibir honra que ser orgulloso y pasar vergüenza.

The advice emphasizes humility as a safeguard against embarrassment in hierarchical societies.
