Proverbs 12:8-10 American Standard Version (ASV)

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

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

10. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
