A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bore him.

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and angry woman.

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

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

A continual dripping on a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
