Proverbs 16:19
16:19 It is better to be lowly in spirit with the afflicted
than to share the spoils with the proud.
Luke 14:8-10
14:8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast,
do not take
the place of honor, because a person more distinguished than you may have been invited by your host.
14:9 So
the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then, ashamed,
you will begin to move to the least important
place.
14:10 But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host
approaches he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better place.’
Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.
