Proverbs 21:9-11

Contemporary English Version

^9 (A) It's better to stay outside
    on the roof of your house
than to live inside
    with a nagging wife.
¹⁰ Evil people want to do wrong,
    even to their friends.
¹¹ An ignorant fool learns
    by seeing others punished;
a sensible person learns
    by being instructed.
