Proverbs 12:9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 Better to be dishonored, yet have a servant,
than to act important but have no food.(A)
10 A righteous man cares about his animal’s health,(B)
but even the merciful acts of the wicked are cruel.
11 The one who works his land will have plenty of food,(C)
but whoever chases fantasies lacks sense.(D)

but those who chase fantasies have no sense.(B)
