Proverbs 12:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 He that is despised, [a]and is his own servant, is better than he that boasteth himself, and lacketh bread.
10 A righteous man [b]regardeth the life of his beast: but the mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 (A)He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, is destitute of [c]understanding.
