Proverbs 12:9

טוֹב נִ֭קְלֶה וְעֶ֣בֶד ל֑וֹ מִ֝מִּתְכַּבֵּ֗ד וַחֲסַר לָֽחֶם׃
King James Version (KJV)

He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

Modern English

Better to be lowly and have a servant than to play the great man and lack bread.

Hebrew

טוֹב נִ֭קְלֶה וְעֶ֣בֶד ל֑וֹ מִ֝מִּתְכַּבֵּ֗ד וַחֲסַר לָֽחֶם׃
