Luke 8:13-14 NLT
But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed.
Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ 

I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee,
   returned home justified before God.
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled,
   and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
