Proverbs 21:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ The wicked are a ransom for the righteous;
    the treacherous will be punished^[a] in the place of the virtuous.
¹⁹ Better to live in a wilderness
    than in a house with a contentious and angry woman.
²⁰ Precious treasure and oil stay in the home of the wise,
    but fools swallow them up.
