    Pro 12:10A righteous [man] regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked [are] cruel.

    Yes in fact, thanks! Someone else has also in the meantime made reference to it.

    But notice the interesting nuances in the different translations. I 'translated' from how I remembered the Afrikaans, and yours of course is the direct English. Unfortunately I don't know Hebrew - it would have been great to see how it is possible to so 'differently' understand the text. In the Afrikaans Bible it says the animal understands the heart of its owner; in the English it says man regards the life of his animal. Quite nice!
