Proverbs 12:9

It is better to be lowly and a servant {to someone} than self-glorifying and lacking food.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

There is one who acts rich but {has nothing}; another who pretends to be poor but [has] wealth.

He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."
