Proverbs 21:18-20

World English Bible

¹⁸ The wicked is a ransom for the righteous,
    the treacherous for the upright.
¹⁹ It is better to dwell in a desert land,
    than with a contentious and fretful woman.
²⁰ There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise;
    but a foolish man swallows it up.
