8A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he who has a warped mind shall be despised.
9Better is he who is little known, and has a servant, than he who honours himself and lacks bread.
10A righteous man respects the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.
