It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop
than to share a house with a contentious woman.
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop
than to share a house with a contentious woman.
Proverbs 25:21–27
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat.
If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
for you will heap coals of fire on his head,
and the LORD will reward you.
The north wind produces rain;
so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop
than to share a house with a contentious woman.
Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
so is good news from a far country.
Like a muddied spring and a polluted well,
so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
It is not good to eat much honey,
nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.
