Proverbs 21:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ It is better to live alone in the wilderness
    than with a nagging and irritable wife.
²⁰ The house of the wise man is filled with precious treasure and oil,
    but the fool squanders all he has.
²¹ Whoever pursues righteousness^[a] and kindness
    will find life and honor too.
