Proverbs 12:9-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant
Than he who honors himself and lacks bread.

But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
11 He (B)who tills his land will have plenty of bread,
But he who pursues worthless things lacks [a]sense.
