Proverbs 21:9-11

English Standard Version

⁹ It is ^(A)better to live in a corner of the housetop
    than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
¹⁰ The soul of the wicked desires evil;
    his neighbor finds no mercy in his eyes.
¹¹ When ^(B)a scoffer is punished, the simple becomes wise;
    when a wise man is instructed, he gains knowledge.
