Proverbs 12:8-10

21st Century 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 lowly and hath a servant is better off than he that honoreth himself and lacketh bread.

¹⁰ A righteous man hath regard for the life of his beast, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
