⁶Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
⁷For 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.

Psalm 112

¹Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
²His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
³Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
⁴Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
⁵A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
⁶Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
⁷He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
⁸His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
⁹He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
¹⁰The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

14And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
⁷And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.
⁸When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
⁹And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
¹⁰But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
¹¹For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
¹²Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
¹³But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
¹⁴And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
