He that is despised, and has a servant, is better than he that honors himself, and lacks bread.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 12:9 Go To Proverbs 12
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Glorious. Or a boaster, (Haydock) as many noblemen are, who are involved in debt, Ecclesiasticus x. 30. (Menochius)
It is better to have a sufficiency, than to be of noble parentage; and starving through a stupid idea, that work would be disgraceful.
