Proverbs 21:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ It is better to live alone in a desert
    than to live with a wife who quarrels and complains.
²⁰ Wise people store valuable things and good food in their houses.
    But foolish people waste everything immediately.
²¹ If you are kind and faithful, you will live a long life!
    Other people will respect you and they will be kind to you.
