⁷ But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for ^[a]God does not see as man sees, since man looks at ^[b]the outward appearance, ^(A)but the Lord looks at the heart.”

²⁴ Do not ^(A)judge by the outward appearance, but judge ^[a]with righteous judgment.”
