Proverbs 21:18-20

Revised Standard Version

¹⁸ The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,
    and the faithless for the upright.
¹⁹ It is better to live in a desert land
    than with a contentious and fretful woman.
²⁰ Precious treasure remains^[a] in a wise man’s dwelling,
    but a foolish man devours it.
