Proverbs 21:9-11
Names of God Bible
9 Better to live on a corner of a roof
than to share a home with a quarreling woman.
10 The mind of a wicked person desires evil
and has no consideration for his neighbor.
11 When a mocker is punished, a gullible person becomes wise,
and when a wise person is instructed, he gains knowledge.
Proverbs 21:9-11
New International Version
9 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.(A)
10 The wicked crave evil;
their neighbors get no mercy from them.
11 When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom;
by paying attention to the wise they get knowledge.(B)
Proverbs 21:9-11

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