Proverbs 21:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸The conduct^[a] of a guilty man is perverse,
but the behavior of the pure is upright.

⁹It’s better to live in a corner on the roof
than to share a house with a contentious woman.

¹⁰The soul of the wicked craves evil;
he extends no mercy to his neighbor.
