Mishle 12:8-10

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁸ An ish shall be commended according to his seichel, but he that is of a perverse mind shall be despised.

⁹ He that is lightly esteemed, and hath an eved, is better than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh lechem.

¹⁰ A tzaddik regardeth the nefesh (life) of his behemah (beast), but the compassion of the reshaim is cruel.
