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)
