Proverbs 12:9-11

⁹Better is a poor man, and sufficient to himself, than a glorious man, and needy of bread.

¹⁰A just or rightwise man knoweth the lives of his work beasts; but the entrails of wicked men be cruel.

¹¹He that worketh his land, shall be filled with loaves; but he that pursueth or followeth idleness, is most foolish. He that is sweet, that is mild, liveth in temperances; and in his admonishings he forsaketh despisings.
