Proverbs 21:18-20

Lexham English Bible

¹⁸ A ransom for the righteous is the wicked,
    and the faithless instead of the upright.
¹⁹ Better to live in a land of wilderness
    than with a wife of quarrels and provocation.
²⁰ Precious treasure and oil are in the house of the wise,
    but the foolish person^[a] will devour them.^[b]
