Proverbs 25:24-26

Amplified Bible

²⁴ 
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop [on the flat roof, exposed to the weather]
Than in a house shared with a quarrelsome (contentious) woman.^(A)
25 
Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
So is good news from a distant land.
²⁶ 
Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring
Is a righteous man who yields and compromises his integrity before the wicked.
