Luke 18:13-14
But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldnāt even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, āGod, be merciful to me, a sinner!ā I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.ā
