Proverbs 12:10

Proverbs Of Solomon

⁹ Better to be dishonored, yet have a servant,
than to act important but have no food. ¹⁰ A righteous man cares about his animal’s health,
but even the merciful acts of the wicked are cruel. ¹¹ The one who works his land will have plenty of food,
but whoever chases fantasies lacks sense.
