Proverbs 25:24-26

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁴ It is better to live on a corner of the roof
    than to share the house with a nagging wife.

²⁵ Like cold water to a person faint from thirst
    is good news from a distant land.

²⁶ Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
    is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked.
