Proverbs 12:9

Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.

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

There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
