Proverbs 12:9

Young's Literal Translation 1898

Better is the lightly esteemed who hath a servant, Than the self-honoured who lacketh bread.

See the chapter Copy

The righteous knoweth the life of his beast, And the mercies of the wicked are cruel.

According to his wisdom is a man praised, And the perverted of heart becometh despised.

There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth is abundant.

This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me;

because every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'
