“When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;”
When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited — the wedding feast as the kingdom's social analogy. Do not take the place of honor: the first instruction. The risk is embarrassment: a more distinguished person arrives and you are displaced.
