4 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “presence” →
Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
