Proverbs 12:8-10

⁸A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

⁹He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoreth himself, and is destitute of bread.

¹⁰A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
