Proverbs 12:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 For his mouth of good sense, a man will be recommended,
but he who is of perverse mind[a] will be despised.
9 It is better to be lowly and a servant to someone[b]
than self-glorifying and lacking food.
10 The righteous knows the life[c] of his animal,
but the compassion[d] of the wicked is cruel.
