Proverbs 30:23

American Standard Version (1901)

For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

See the chapter Copy

A continual dropping in a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike:

He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have him become a son at the last.

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

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

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

For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food;

There are four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise:

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