Proverbs 21:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ It's better out in the desert
than at home with a nagging,
    complaining wife.
²⁰ Be sensible and store up
    precious treasures—
don't waste them
    like a fool.
²¹ If you try to be kind and good,
you will be blessed with life
    and goodness and honor.
