²² As a ^(A)ring of gold in a pig’s snout
So is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.

⁴ An ^[a](A)excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who shames him is like ^(B)rottenness in his bones.

14 The ^(A)wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish tears it down with her own hands.

²² He who finds a ^(A)wife finds a good thing
And ^(B)obtains favor from the Lord.

¹³ A ^(A)foolish son is destruction to his father,
And the ^(B)quarrels of a wife are a constant dripping.
¹⁴ House and wealth are an ^(C)inheritance from fathers,
But a prudent wife is from the Lord.

⁹ It is better to live on a corner of a roof
Than ^[a]in a house shared with a contentious woman.

^19 (A)It is better to live in a desert land
Than with a contentious and irritating woman.
