«Earth, thou great footstool of our God, who reigns on high; thou fruitful source of all our raiment, life, and food; our house, our parent, and our nurse»

«We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.»

«Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, / Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? / Hath not my hand made all these things? / Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.»

«For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; / And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: / Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? / Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? / But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? / Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? / If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: / But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.»

«Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building: / But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.»

«And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays: / And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.»

«Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.»

«Courage, the footstool of the Virtues, upon which they stand»
