Exegesis

The noun nadiv {נָדִיב | nā-dîv} ‘prince’ is specified by the relative clause asher ra’u {אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ | ’ă-šer rā-’û} ‘whom they have seen,’ concluding with the pronominal phrase eineikha {עֵינֶיךָ | ’ê-nê-kā} ‘your eyes.’ The English renderings maintain Hebrew word order and emphasize the contrast between public honor and public shame.

In context — Proverbs 25:7

For it is better for you to be told, “Come up here,” than to be humiliated before a prince whom you have seen.
