7 And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,
8 When thou art invited by any [man] to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room, lest a more honorable man than thou be invited by him;
9 And he that invited thee and him, shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honor in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.
