It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
for an odious woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
