Proverbs 21:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

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.
¹¹ When a scoffer is punished, the simple become wiser;
    when the wise are instructed, they increase in knowledge.
