GRK

Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Σαμουηλ, Μη επιβλεψης εις την οψιν αυτου η εις το υψος του αναστηματος αυτου, επειδη απεδοκιμασα αυτον· διοτι δεν βλεπει ο Κυριος καθως βλεπει ο ανθρωπος· διοτι ο ανθρωπος βλεπει το φαινομενον, ο δε Κυριος βλεπει την καρδιαν.

KJV

But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
