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_of 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](../front/intro.md).
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לִפְנֵי־מֶ֑לֶךְ

See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וּבִמְק֥וֹם גְּ֝דֹלִ֗ים אַֽל־תַּעֲמֹֽד
and,in/on/at/with,place_of great not stand
This could refer to: (1) considering oneself to be a great person who belongs to a group of great ones. Alternate translation: “and do not consider yourself to be one of the great ones” or “and do not consider yourself to be a great one” (2) standing among a group of great ones. Alternate translation: “and among the great ones do not stand”
25:6-7 To gain an audience with the king, a wise person will practice humility instead of pride (cp. Matt 20:20-28).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
