Better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful wife.
In context
17Whoever loves pleasure will be a poor man; whoever loves wine and oil will not grow rich. 18The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, and the treacherous takes the place of the upright. 19Better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful wife. 20Precious treasure and oil are in the home of the wise, but a fool swallows them down. 21Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness and honor.
