Proverbs 12:9

Modern King James Version

Better is one despised, and having a servant, than he honoring himself and lacks bread.

See the chapter Copy

A righteous one understands the soul of his animal; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

A man shall be praised according to his wisdom, but he who is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

There are those who act rich, yet have nothing; and those who act poor, yet have great riches.

"This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.

For whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.
