Proverbs 12:8-10

Authorized (King James) Version

⁸ A man shall be commended according to his wisdom:
    but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

⁹ He that is despised, and hath a servant,
    is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

¹⁰ A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast:
    but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
