8 A man will be commended according to his wisdom,
^aBut he who is of a perverse heart will be despised.

9 ^aBetter is the one who is¹ slighted but has a servant,
Than he who honors himself but lacks bread.

10 ^aA righteous man regards the life of his animal,
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

11 ^aHe who¹ tills his land will be satisfied with ^bbread,
But he who follows¹ frivolity ^cis devoid of understanding.

12 The wicked covet the catch of evil men,
But the root of the righteous yields fruit.
