9 Better 'is' the lightly esteemed who hath a servant, Than the self-honoured who lacketh bread.
10 The righteous knoweth the life of his beast, And the mercies of the wicked 'are' cruel.
11 Whoso is tilling the ground is satisfied 'with' bread, And whoso is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,
12 The wicked hath desired the net of evil doers, And the root of the righteous giveth.
13 In transgression of the lips 'is' the snare of the wicked, And the righteous goeth out from distress.
