Proverbs 12:10-12
Contemporary English Version
Proverbs 12:10-12
Contemporary English Version
10 Good people are kind
to their animals,
but a mean person is cruel.
11 Hard working farmers have more
than enough food;
daydreamers are nothing more
than stupid fools.
12 An evil person tries to hide
behind evil;[a]
good people are like trees
with deep roots.
