Proverbs 12:10-12
New Catholic Bible
10 A righteous person supplies the needs of his animals,[a]
but the heart of the wicked is without mercy.
11 One who tills his land has an abundance of food,
but he who chases fantasies[b] is a fool.
12 The wicked desire the prey of evil men,
but the root of the righteous bears fruit.
