Proverbs 21:19

Tree of Life Version

It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome, worrisome wife.

See the chapter Copy

A foolish son is trouble for his father, and a quarrelsome wife is constant dripping.

It is better to live on a corner of a roof than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

Continual dripping on a day of steady rain and a contentious wife are alike—

an unloved woman when she is married, and a handmaid when she displaces her mistress.

They bend their tongue like a bow. Lies, not faithfulness, prevail in the land. “For they go from evil to evil and do not know Me,” says Adonai.
