New Testament

Proverbs 12:8-12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. A man is praised for how wise he is. But people hate those who have twisted minds.

9. Being nobody and having a servant is better than pretending to be somebody and having no food.

10. Those who do what is right take good care of their animals. But the kindest acts of those who do wrong are mean.

11. Anyone who farms his land will have plenty of food. But a person who chases dreams has no sense.

12. Those who do what is wrong want to steal from others. But those who do what is right bear good fruit because of their deep roots.
