Holman Christian Standard Bible
Better to be dishonored, yet have a servant, than to act important but have no food.

New American Standard Bible
Better is he who is lightly esteemed and has a servant Than he who honors himself and lacks bread.

[He that is] despised, and hath a servant, [is] better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. International Standard Version
It's better to be unimportant, yet have a servant, than to pretend to be important, but lack food.

American Standard Version
Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, Than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh bread.
