Proverbs 25:24-26

International Standard Version

²⁴ It’s better to live in a corner on the roof
    than in a house with a contentious woman.

²⁵ Cold water to someone who is thirsty^[a]—
    that’s what good news from a distant land is.

²⁶ A muddied spring or a polluted well—
    that’s what a righteous person is
        who compromises with the wicked.
