Proverbs 21:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 The way of the guilty is crooked,
but the conduct of the innocent is straightforward.
9 It is better to live on the corner of a roof
than to share a spacious house with a nagging wife.[a]
10 The soul of the wicked man is intent on evil;
his neighbor beholds no pity in his countenance.
