8. When you are bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest place; lest a more honorable man than you be bidden of him;
9. And he that bade you and him come and say to you, Give this man your place; and you begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10. But when you are bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that bade you come, he may say unto you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have honor in the presence of them that sit at table with you.
11. For whosoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.
12. Then said he also to him that bade him,
13. But when you give a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14. And you shall be blessed; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
