Proverbs 21:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ Evil people become the payment for setting godly people free.
    Those who aren’t faithful are the payment for honest people.

¹⁹ It is better to live in a desert
    than to live with a nagging wife who loves to argue.

²⁰ Wise people store up the best food and olive oil.
    But foolish people eat up everything they have.
