Verse 7

But Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Samuel,{H8050} Look{H5027} not on his countenance,{H4758} or on the height{H1364} of his stature;{H6967} because I have rejected{H3988} him: for [Jehovah seeth] not as man{H120} seeth;{H7200} for man{H120} looketh{H7200} on the outward appearance,{H5869} but Jehovah{H3068} looketh{H7200} on the heart.{H3824}
