Proverbs 12:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ A man shall be commended for his wisdom. But the perverse of heart shall be despised.

⁹ He who is despised, and has his own servant, is better than he who boasts of himself, and lacks bread.

¹⁰ A righteous man regards the life of his beast. But the mercies of the wicked are cruel.
