Proverbs 21:19-21
The Voice

19 You would be better off living in the middle of the desert
    than with an angry and argumentative wife.
20 The wise have a generous supply of fine food and oil in their homes,
    but fools are wasteful, consuming every last drop.
21 Whoever pursues justice and treats others with kindness
    discovers true life marked by integrity and respect.
