Proverbs 12:10

Proverbs Of Solomon

⁹ Better is a person of humble standing who nevertheless has a servant, than one who pretends to be somebody important yet has no food. ¹⁰ A righteous person cares for the life of his animal, but even the most compassionate acts of the wicked are cruel. ¹¹ The one who works his field will have plenty of food, but whoever chases daydreams lacks wisdom.
