A foolish son is a disgrace to his father; vows [paid out] of the hire of a harlot are not pure.

[It is] better to dwell in a corner on the housetop, than in plastered rooms with unrighteousness, and in an open house.

[It is] better to dwell in a wilderness than with a quarrelsome and talkative and passionate woman.

[It is] better to dwell on a corner of the roof, than with a railing woman in an open house.

The waters wear the stones, and waters falling headlong [overflow] a heap of the earth; so You destroy the hope of man.
