Proverbs 21:18-20

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ The wicked become a ransom for the righteous,
and the treacherous make a payment for the upright.
¹⁹ Better to live in an arid region
    than with a nagging, ill-tempered wife.
²⁰ Good food and olive oil are stored up in the dwellings of the wise,
but a foolish person devours everything he has.
