Proverbs 12:9-11

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁹ ¶ He that despises himself and becomes a slave is better than he that honours himself and lacks bread.

¹⁰ ¶ The righteous is merciful even unto his beast, but the piety of the wicked is cruel.

¹¹ ¶ He that tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he that follows vain persons is void of understanding.
