Go forth, O you daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, and on the day of the gladness of his heart.

And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

Then said he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were bidden were not worthy.

So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment:

And he said unto him, Friend, how came you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

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;

And you yourselves be like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
