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.

Proverbs 12:8-10
New International Version
8 A person is praised according to their prudence,
and one with a warped(A) mind is despised.
9 Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
than pretend to be somebody and have no food.
10 The righteous care for the needs of their animals,(B)
but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
