Proverbs 25:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ It is better to live on the corner of a roof
    than to share a spacious house with a nagging wife.^[a]
25 Like cold water to a thirsty throat
    is good news from a distant land.
²⁶ Like a muddy spring or a polluted well
    is a righteous man who trembles before the wicked.
