Proverbs 21:9

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling women, and in a common house.

See the chapter Copy

A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.

It is better to sit m a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman, and in a common house.

It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman.

A diligent woman is a crown to her husband: and she that doth things worthy of confusion, is a rottenness in his bones.

It is better to be invited to herbs with love, than to a fatted calf with hatred.

Better is a dry morsel with joy, than a house full of victims with strife.

The perverse way of a man is strange: but as for him that is pure, his work is right.

The soul of the wicked desireth evil, he will not have pity on his neighbour.
