Contextual Overview
7 Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, 8 "When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, 9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. 11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." 12 He said also to the man who had invited him, "When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For whosoever exalteth himself,.... Either in the above way, or any other, shall be abased, humbled and mortified:
and he that humbleth himself; behaves in an humble and modest manner,
shall be exalted; :-.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Whosoever exalteth ... - This is universal among people, and it is also the way in which God will deal with people. âMenâ will perpetually endeavor to bring down those who endeavor to exalt themselves; and it is a part of Godâs regular plan to abase the proud, to bring down the lofty, to raise up those that be bowed down, and show âhisâ favors to those who are poor and needy.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 14:11. For whosoever exalteth himself, &c.] This is the unchangeable conduct of God: he is ever abasing the proud, and giving grace, honour, and glory to the humble.
