Exegesis
The verse begins with the negative particle al {אַל | ʾal} ‘do not’, immediately introducing an imperative prohibition.
The repeated prohibition al taʿāmoḏ {אַל תַּעֲמֹד | ʾal taʿāmoḏ} ‘do not stand’ reinforces restraint. The Hebrew parallelism and repetition inform the translation’s retention of the twofold negative imperative and emphasize deference to authority.
In context — Proverbs 25:6
Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king , and do not stand in the place of great men .
