← Proverbs 21:9	Proverbs 21:10 (KJV)	Proverbs 21:11 →
[It is] better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.	The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.	When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
