Proverbs 12:8-10
Amplified Bible
8
A man will be commended according to his insight and sound judgment,
But the one who is of a perverse mind will be despised.
9
[a]Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant,
Than he who [boastfully] honors himself [pretending to be what he is not] and lacks bread.
10
A righteous man has kind regard for the life of his animal,
But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.(A)
