7 for it is better to be told, “Come up here,”

than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.

What your eyes have seen

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.

7 It’s better to wait for an invitation to the head table

than to be sent away in public disgrace.

Just because you’ve seen something,

7 For it is better that he say to you,

“Come up here,”

Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,

Whom your eyes have seen.

7 It is better for him to give you a higher position

than to bring you down in front of the prince.

Because of something you have seen,

7 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.

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 see.

7 because it is better to be told, “Come up here,” 

than to be put down in front of a prince 

whom your eyes have seen. 

7 for it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here!”

than to demote you in plain view of a noble.

7 for it is better to be told, “Come up here,”

than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.

What your eyes have seen

7 For it is better that he say to you, “Ascend here,”

than he humble you before a noble.

What your eyes have seen,

7 Let the king say to you, “Come up here.”

That’s better than for him to shame you in front of nobles.

What you have seen with your own eyes

7 For it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”

Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of the prince,

Whom your eyes have seen.
