Proverbs 12:9-14 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

9. He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoreth himself, and is destitute of bread.

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

11. He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

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

13. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

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