Proverbs 21:20

Proverbs Of Solomon

¹⁹ Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than with a woman of contentions and anger. ²⁰ A treasure to be desired, and oil, Is in the habitation of the wise, And a foolish man swalloweth it up. ²¹ Whoso is pursuing righteousness and kindness, Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
