Proverbs 21:18-20

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁸ The wicked serve as a ransom for the righteous,
    and likewise the perfidious for the upright.

¹⁹ It is better to live in the desert
    than with a nagging, irritable wife.

²⁰ In the home of the wise are fine treasures and oil,
    but a fool quickly devours it.
