Proverbs 12:10-12

Revised Standard Version

¹⁰ A righteous man has regard for the life of his beast,
    but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
¹¹ He who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
    but he who follows worthless pursuits has no sense.
¹² The strong tower of the wicked comes to ruin,
    but the root of the righteous stands firm.^[a]
