Proverbs 12:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ The ·wisdom [insight] of the wise wins praise,
but there is ·no respect [shame] for the ·stupid [warped; distressed mind/heart].

⁹ A person who is ·not important [belittled; of low regard; ordinary] but has a servant is better off
than someone who ·acts [or is thought] ·important [honorable] but has no food.

¹⁰ ·Good [Righteous] people ·take care [^Lknow the desires] of their animals,
but even the ·kindest [most compassionate] acts of the wicked are cruel.
