Proverbs 21:9

Modern King James Version

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than with a quarrelsome woman and to share a house.

See the chapter Copy

A foolish son is ruin to his father, and the quarreling of a wife is a never-ending dripping.

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a quarreling woman and to share a house.

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

A woman of virtue is a crown to her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

Better is a dinner of vegetables where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred with it.

Better is a dry piece of bread, and quietness with it, than a house full of sacrifices with fighting.

The way of a guilty man is perverted; but the pure, his work is right.

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