Proverbs 21:9

English Standard Version 2016

It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

See the chapter Copy

A foolish son is ruin to his father, and a wife’s quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.

It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.

Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.

The way of the guilty is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.

The soul of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
