Proverbs 21:18-20
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,
and the faithless for the upright.
19 It is better to live in a desert land
than with a contentious and fretful wife.
20 Precious treasure remains[a] in the house of the wise,
but the fool devours it.
