“Come up here,”
Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.
For what will you do in the end,
When your neighbor has put you to shame?

What Does Proverbs 25:6 Mean?
Proverbs 25:6-7
God eventually removes all the physical accomplishments of the self-exalted person. Anyone who glories in himself will receive his true reward in the form of condemnation, debasement, degradation, and humiliation. Glory is praise, honor, or distinction extended by common consent. If we glory in ourselves, it is because no one else is glorifying us for our perceived accomplishments—probably because we have done no real, glorious deeds in the first place.
