Proverbs 12:8-15

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

⁹Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

¹⁰A righteous man is concerned for the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

¹¹He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread; but he that followeth the worthless is void of understanding.

¹²The wicked desireth the net of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

¹³In the transgression of the lips is an evil snare; but a righteous man shall go forth out of trouble.

¹⁴A man is satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; and the recompense of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

¹⁵The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
