Proverbs 21:19-24

¹⁹Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than with a woman of contentions and anger.

²⁰A treasure to be desired, and oil, Is in the habitation of the wise, And a foolish man swalloweth it up.

²¹Whoso is pursuing righteousness and kindness, Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

²²A city of the mighty hath the wise gone up, And bringeth down the strength of its confidence.

²³Whoso is keeping his mouth and his tongue, Is keeping from adversities his soul.

²⁴Proud, haughty, scorner is his name, Who is working in the wrath of pride.
