Proverbs 21:18-20
Common English Bible
18 The wicked are a ransom for the righteous;
the treacherous will be punished[a] in the place of the virtuous.
19 Better to live in a wilderness
than in a house with a contentious and angry woman.
20 Precious treasure and oil stay in the home of the wise,
but fools swallow them up.
