Better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
A foolish son is the ruin of his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
Better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and angry woman.
An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred.
Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife.
The way of a guilty man is perverse; But as for the pure, his work is right.
The soul of the wicked desires evil; His neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
