It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.
A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes.
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
