Proverbs 21:8-10
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
8 The way of the guilty is crooked,
but the conduct of the pure is right.
9 It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a contentious wife.
10 The souls of the wicked desire evil;
their neighbours find no mercy in their eyes.
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.
Proverbs 21:8-10

8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
