Proverbs 21:20


Proverbs 21:19 Proverbs 21:20 (KJV) Proverbs 21:21
[It is] better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
[There is] treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.
