Proverbs 12:9

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

Better is a poor man, and sufficient to himself, than a glorious man, and needy of bread.

See the chapter Copy

A just [or rightwise] man knoweth the lives of his work beasts; but the entrails of wicked men be cruel.

A man shall be known by his teaching; but he that is vain and heartless, shall be open to despising.

A man is as rich, when he hath nothing; and a man is as poor, when he is in many riches.

This people honoureth me with lips, but their heart is far from me;

For each that enhanceth himself, shall be lowed [or be made low]; and he that meeketh himself, shall be highed.
