Proverbs 21:19-21
New American Standard Bible 1995

19 (A)It is better to live in a desert land
Than with a contentious and vexing woman.
20 There is precious (B)treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise,
But a foolish man (C)swallows it up.
21 He who (D)pursues righteousness and loyalty
Finds life, righteousness and honor.
