Proverbs 12:9

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

It's better to be ordinary and have only one servant than to think you are somebody and starve to death.

See the chapter Copy

If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honoured.

Some who have nothing may pretend to be rich, and some who have everything may pretend to be poor.

“All of you praise me with your words, but you never really think about me.

Good sense is worthy of praise, but stupidity is a curse.

Good people are kind to their animals, but a mean person is cruel.
