Mishle 21:9-11

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁹It is better to dwell in a corner of the gag (roof), than with a quarrelsome isha in a shared bais.

¹⁰The nefesh of the rashah desireth rah; his re’a findeth no mercy in his eynayim.

¹¹When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise, and when insight is disclosed to the chacham, he receiveth da’as.

Proverbs 21:9-11

New International Version

⁹Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.^(A)

¹⁰The wicked crave evil;
their neighbors get no mercy from them.

¹¹When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom;
by paying attention to the wise they get knowledge.^(B)

⁹It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

¹⁰The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

¹¹When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
