Proverbs 25:24-26

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁴ It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
    than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
²⁵ Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
    so is good news from a far country.
²⁶ Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain
    is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
