Proverbs 21:8-10
Amplified Bible
8
The way of the guilty is [exceedingly] crooked,
But as for the pure, his conduct is upright.
9
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop [on the flat roof, exposed to the weather]
Than in a house shared with a quarrelsome (contentious) woman.
10
The soul of the wicked desires evil [like an addictive substance];
His neighbor finds no compassion in his eyes.(A)
Proverbs 21:8-10
New International Version
8 The way of the guilty is devious,(A)
but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
9 Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.(B)
10 The wicked crave evil;
their neighbors get no mercy from them.
