Proverbs 12:8-11

⁸People will praise those who have good sense, but people will despise those ◄who are always thinking about doing evil things/whose thinking is twisted►.

⁹It is better to be a humble/ordinary person who has only one servant than to think that you are very important while you have nothing to eat.

¹⁰Righteous people take care of their domestic animals, but wicked people act cruelly toward their animals.

¹¹Farmers who work hard in their fields will produce good crops that will give them plenty to eat, but those who waste their time working on worthless projects are foolish.
