Proverbs 21:9-11

{It is} better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. {a brawling...: Heb. a woman of contentions} {a wide...: Heb. an house of society} The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. {findeth...: Heb. is not favoured} When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
