Proverbs 12:9

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.

See the chapter Copy

Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing: and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches.

This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.

A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.

The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.
