Proverbs 12:9-11

New King James Version

^9 (A)Better is the one who is ^[a]slighted but has a servant,
Than he who honors himself but lacks bread.

^10 (B)A righteous man regards the life of his animal,
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

^11 (C)He who ^[b]tills his land will be satisfied with ^(D)bread,
But he who follows ^[c]frivolity ^(E)is devoid of ^[d]understanding.
