Proverbs 22:29
Thomson 1808
A man clear in his perceptions and quick in the despatch of business should stand before kings and not wait on slothful men.
Brenton 1851
It is fit that an observant man and one diligent in his business should attend on kings, and not attend on slothful men.
Greek · Brenton
Ὁρατικὸν ἄνδρα καὶ ὀξὺν ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ βασιλεῦσι δεῖ παρεστάναι, καὶ μὴ παρεστάναι ἀνδράσι νωθροῖς.
