Proverbs 21:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ The violence of the wicked will ·destroy them [sweep them away],
because they refuse to ·do what is right [act with justice].

⁸ Guilty people live dishonest lives,
but ·honest people do right [virtuous people are pure].

⁹ It is better to live in a corner on the roof [^Cliving space in biblical times]
than inside the house with a ·quarreling [contentious] wife.
