Proverbs 21:18-20
New King James Version

18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous,
And the unfaithful for the upright.

19 Better to dwell [a]in the wilderness,
Than with a contentious and angry woman.

20 (A)There is desirable treasure,
And oil in the dwelling of the wise,
But a foolish man squanders it.
