Proverbs 21:9

Better to live on the corner of a roof
than to share a house with a nagging wife.

A foolish son is his father’s ruin,
and a wife’s nagging is an endless dripping.

Better to live in a wilderness
than with a nagging and hot-tempered wife.

Better to live on the corner of a roof
than to share a house with a nagging wife.

A capable wife is her husband’s crown,
but a wife who causes shame
is like rottenness in his bones.

Better a meal of vegetables where there is love
than a fattened ox with hatred.

Better a dry crust with peace
than a house full of feasting with strife.

An endless dripping on a rainy day
and a nagging wife are alike.
