Proverbs 25:24
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
In context
22 For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
23 As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.
24 Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
25 Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.
