Proverbs 21:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ The wicked are ransom for the righteous,
    and the unfaithful for the upright.

¹⁹ It’s better to live in the wilderness
    than to live with a contentious and irritable woman.

²⁰ Precious treasures and oil are found^[a] where the wise live,
    but a foolish man devours them.
