Proverbs 25:24-26

Modern English Version

²⁴ It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop
    than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

²⁵ As cold waters to a thirsty soul,
    so is good news from a far country.
²⁶ A righteous man falling down before the wicked
    is as a troubled fountain and a corrupt spring.
