Proverbs 21:18-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁸ The wicked is a ^(A)ransom for the righteous,
And the ^(B)treacherous is in the place of the upright.
^19 (C)It is better to live in a desert land
Than with a contentious and vexing woman.
²⁰ There is precious ^(D)treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise,
But a foolish man ^(E)swallows it up.
