Luke 14:7-11 - The Parable Of The Guests At The Wedding Feast
7 Then he spake to those who were invited, a parable, when he observed how they chose the principal seats; saying unto them, 8 When thou art invited of any person to a marriage entertainment, recline not on the principal couch; lest a more honourable personage than thyself be invited by him; 9 and he that invited thee and him, coming say to thee, Yield this person the place; and so thou shalt begin with shame to go down to the lowest place.
10 But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher; then shalt thou have respect in the presence of those who are seated with thee. 11 For every one who exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
