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.

Proverbs 12:9-11
New International Version

9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
    than pretend to be somebody and have no food.

10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals,(A)
    but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

11 Those who work their land will have abundant food,
    but those who chase fantasies have no sense.(B)
