Proverbs 25:24-26
Complete Jewish Bible
24 It is better to live on a corner of the roof
than to share the house with a nagging wife.
25 Like cold water to a person faint from thirst
is good news from a distant land.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked.
Proverbs 25:24-26

Proverbs 25:24-26
New King James Version
24 (A)It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
25 As cold water to a weary soul,
So is (B)good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man who falters before the wicked
Is like a murky spring and a [a]polluted well.
