Proverbs 21:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a contentious wife.(A)
10 The souls of the wicked desire evil;
their neighbors find no mercy in their eyes.(B)
11 When a scoffer is punished, the simple become wiser;
when the wise are instructed, they increase in knowledge.(C)
