Proverbs 21:9

American Standard Version (1901)

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

See the chapter Copy

A foolish son is the calamity of his father; And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.

A worthy woman is the crown of her husband; But she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, Than a house full of feasting with strife.

The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked; But as for the pure, his work is right.

The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes.
