Proverbs 12:9-11
English Standard Version

9 Better to be lowly and have a servant
    than to play the great man and lack bread.
10 (A)Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast,
    but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
11 (B)Whoever works his land (C)will have plenty of bread,
    (D)but he who follows (E)worthless pursuits lacks sense.
