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.
11 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain 'persons' is void of understanding.
12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men; But the root of the righteous yieldeth 'fruit'.
13 In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous shall come out of trouble.
