Proverbs 12:12

Better is he who is little known, and has a servant,

than he who honors himself and lacks bread.

A righteous man respects the life of his animal,

but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread,

but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips,

but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth.

The work of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,

but he who is wise listens to counsel.
