Proverbs 12:8-10

Legacy Standard Bible

⁸ A man will be praised according to his insight,
But one of perverse heart will be despised.
⁹ Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant
Than he who honors himself and lacks bread.
¹⁰ A ^(A)righteous man knows the value of the life of his animal,
But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
