Proverbs 12:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ Everyone admires a man with good sense, but a man with a warped mind is despised.

⁹ It is better to get your hands dirty—and eat,^[a] than to be too proud to work—and starve.

¹⁰ A good man is concerned for the welfare of his animals, but even the kindness of godless men is cruel.
