Better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

So I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.

Indeed, I would wander far off, [And] remain in the wilderness. Selah

Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, [That] I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

My soul has dwelt too long With one who hates peace.

Oh, that I had in the wilderness A lodging place for travelers; That I might leave my people, And go from them! For they [are] all adulterers, An assembly of treacherous men.
