Proverbs 12:9-13 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

9. Better is the poor man that provideth for himself, than he that is glorious and wanteth bread.

10. The just regardeth the lives of his beasts: but the bowels of the wicked are cruel.

11. He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that pursueth idleness is very foolish. He that is delighted in passing his time over wine, leaveth a reproach in his strong holds.

12. The desire of the wicked is the fortification of evil men: but the root of the just shall prosper.

13. For the sins of the lips ruin draweth nigh to the evil mall: but the just shall escape out of distress.
