Proverbs 12:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ Better to be unimportant and have a slave
than to act important and have nothing to eat.
¹⁰ A righteous person cares ⌞even⌟ about the life of his animals,
but the compassion of wicked people is ⌞nothing but⌟ cruelty.
¹¹ Whoever works his land will have plenty to eat,
but the one who chases unrealistic dreams has no sense.
