For it is betterthat it be saidto you, "Comeup here,"Thanfor you to be placedlowerin the presenceof the prince,Whomyour eyeshave seen.
It is betterto be humblein spiritwith the lowlyThanto dividethe spoilwith the proud.
Do not claimhonorin the presenceof the king,And do not standin the placeof greatmen;
"I tellyou, this manwentto his housejustifiedrather thanthe other;for everyonewho exaltshimselfwill be humbled,but he who humbleshimselfwill be exalted."
You younger men,likewise,be subjectto [your] elders;and allof you, clotheyourselves with humilitytoward one another,for GODIS OPPOSEDTO THE PROUD,BUT GIVESGRACETO THE HUMBLE.
Afterthese thingsI looked,and behold,a door[standing] openin heaven,and the firstvoicewhichI had heard,like[the sound] of a trumpetspeakingwith me, said,"Comeup here,and I will showyou whatmusttake placeafterthese things."
