1 Samuel 16:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁵ He said, “Peaceably. I have come to sacrifice to the Lord; sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” And he sanctified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.^(A)

⁶ When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, “Surely his anointed is now before the Lord.”^{(B) 7} But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him, for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”^(C)
