Genesis 2:8-15 (And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east;
a
and there he put the man whom he had formed. Out of the ground the Lord
God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food,
the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil. A river flows out of Eden to water the garden, and from
there it divides and becomes four branches. The name of the first is Pishon;
it is the one that flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
and the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. The
name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one that flows around the whole
land of Cush. The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of
Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. The Lord God took the man
and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.)

b Luke 14:10-11 (But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest
place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up
higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table
with you. For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who
humble themselves will be exalted.”)

c Proverbs 14:28 (The glory of a king is a multitude of people; without
people a prince is ruined.)
