Contextual Overview
7 And he went on to speak, unto the invited, a parable, - observing how, the first couches, they were choosing; saying unto them - 8 Whensoever thou hast been invited by anyone unto a marriage feast, do not recline on the first couch; lest once, a more honourable than thou, have been invited by him, 9 and he that invited both thee and him should come, and say unto thee - Give, unto this one, place! and, then, thou shouldst begin, with shame, the last place, to occupy. 10 But, whensoever thou hast been invited, pass on and fall back into the last place, that, whensoever he that hath invited thee shall come, he may say unto thee - Friend! come close up, higher. Then, shalt thou have honour before all who are reclining together with thee. 11 Because, everyone who exalteth himself, shall be abased; and, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted? 12 Moreover he went on to say, unto him also who had invited him, - Whensoever thou mayest be making a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, or thy brothers, or thy kinsfolk, or rich neighbours, - lest once, they also, invite thee in return, and it become a recompense unto thee. 13 But, whensoever, an entertainment, thou mayest be making, invite the destitute, the tried, the lame, the blind; 14 and, happy, shalt thou be, that they have not wherewith to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed unto thee, in the resurrection of the righteous.

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.
