Proverbs 25:24

The Scriptures 1998

It is better to dwell in a corner of a roof, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

See the chapter Copy

A foolish son is a calamity to his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and vexed woman.

It is better to dwell in a corner of a roof, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

Like cold water to a parched throat, Is good news from a distant land.
