Proverbs 21:19

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

It's better out in the desert than at home with a nagging, complaining wife.

See the chapter Copy

A foolish son brings disgrace to his father. A nagging wife goes on and on like the drip, drip, drip of the rain.

It's better to stay outside on the roof of your house than to live inside with a nagging wife.

The steady dripping of rain and the nagging of a wife are one and the same.

a hateful woman who finds a husband, and a slave who takes the place of the woman who owns her.

I wish I could go into the desert and find a hiding place from all who are treacherous and unfaithful to God.
