Variety Proverbs 12v8-14

⁸ A person is praised according to their prudence,
and one with a warped mind is despised.

⁹ Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
than pretend to be somebody and have no food.

¹⁰ The righteous care for the needs of their animals,
but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.

¹¹ Those who work their land will have abundant food,
but those who chase fantasies have no sense.

¹² The wicked desire the stronghold of evildoers,
but the root of the righteous endures.

¹³ Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk,
and so the innocent escape trouble.

¹⁴ From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things,
and the work of their hands brings them reward.
