Proverbs 12:8-10

American Standard Version

⁸ A man shall be commended according to his wisdom;
But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
⁹ Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant,
Than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh bread.
¹⁰ A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast;
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
