Proverbs 12:9-11

Legacy Standard Bible

⁹ Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant
Than he who honors himself and lacks bread.
¹⁰ A ^(A)righteous man knows the value of the life of his animal,
But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
¹¹ He ^(B)who cultivates his land will be satisfied with bread,
But he who pursues empty things lacks a heart of wisdom.
