Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, Than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: But he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth.
This people honoureth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me.
For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
