- પણ ઈશ્વરે શમુએલને કહ્યું કે, “તેના બહારના દેખાવ તરફ તથા તેના શરીરની ઊંચાઈ તરફ ન જો; કેમ કે મેં તેને નાપસંદ કર્યો છે. જેમ માણસ જુએ છે તેમ ઈશ્વર જોતાં નથી; માણસ બહારના દેખાવ તરફ જુએ છે, પણ ઈશ્વર હૃદય તરફ જુએ છે.”

- परन्तु यहोवा ने शमूएल से कहा, “न तो उसके रूप पर दृष्टि कर, और न उसके कद की ऊँचाई पर, क्योंकि मैंने उसे अयोग्य जाना है; क्योंकि यहोवा का देखना मनुष्य का सा नहीं है; मनुष्य तो बाहर का रूप देखता है, परन्तु यहोवा की दृष्टि मन पर रहती है।” (मत्ती 22:18, मर. 2:8, यूह. 2:25)
