Proverbs 21:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ It is better to live on a corner of a roof
    than to share a house with a nagging wife.

¹⁰ Sinful people long to do evil.
    They don’t show their neighbors any mercy.

¹¹ When you punish someone who makes fun of others, childish people get wise.
    By paying attention to wise people, the childish get knowledge.
