Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

אַל־תִּתְהַדַּ֥ר לִ⁠פְנֵי־מֶ֑לֶךְ וּ⁠בִ⁠מְק֥וֹם גְּ֝דֹלִ֗ים אַֽל־תַּעֲמֹֽד

not put_~_forward to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before king and,in/on/at/with,place great not stand

The two clauses in this verse say similar things, but the phrases in the second clause are in reverse order. This is a literary device called a chiasm. Here, the writer does this in order to emphasize the importance of not honoring yourself in front of kings. See the discussion of chiasms in the book introduction.
