Proverbs 12:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 A righteous man [a]regardeth the life of his beast: but the mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 (A)He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, is destitute of [b]understanding.
12 The wicked desireth the [c]net of evils: but the [d]root of the righteous giveth fruit.
