It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome, worrisome wife.
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and an angry woman.
It is better to dwell in a desert land than with a contentious woman and with vexation.
It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.
Better to live in a wilderness than in a house with a contentious and angry woman.
It is better to live in a deserted land, than with a quarrelsome and emotional woman.
It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman.
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.
