Proverbs 21:9-11
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 21

9It is better to live on a corner of a roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman. 10The soul of the wicked desires evil; His neighbor is shown no compassion in his eyes. 11When the scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise; But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.
King James Version

Chapter 21

9It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 21

9Better to live on the corner of a roof than to share a house with a nagging wife.
10A wicked person desires evil; he has no consideration for his neighbor.
11When a mocker is punished, the inexperienced become wiser; when one teaches a wise man, he acquires knowledge.
New Living Translation

Chapter 21

9It’s better to live alone in the corner of an attic than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.

11If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded become wise; if you instruct the wise, they will be all the wiser.
English Standard Version

New International Version

Chapter 21

9Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

11When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom; by paying attention to the wise they get knowledge.
New King James Version
