Proverbs 12:9-12

⁹Better is a poor man, and sufficient (un)to himself, than (to be) a (self-)glorious man, and needy of bread.

¹⁰A just man knoweth the lives of his work beasts; but the entrails of wicked men be cruel. (A righteous person careth for the lives of his work beasts; but the hearts of the wicked be cruel.)

¹¹He that worketh his land, shall be filled with loaves; but he that followeth idleness, is most fool(ish). He that is sweet, that is mild, liveth in temperances; and in his admonishings he forsaketh despisings, (or He who is humble, liveth temperately; and he forsaketh despisings in all of his admonishings).

¹²The desire of a wicked man is the memorial of worst things; but the root of just men shall increase. (The desires of the wicked be a memorial of the worst things; but the roots of the righteous shall increase, or shall go deeper.)
