Proverbs 25:24-26

World English Bible

²⁴ It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop
    than to share a house with a contentious woman.
²⁵ Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
    so is good news from a far country.
²⁶ Like a muddied spring and a polluted well,
    so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
