A foolish son [is] the ruin of his father, And the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dripping.

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

Better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and angry woman.

[It is] better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

[As] water wears away stones, [And as] torrents wash away the soil of the earth; So You destroy the hope of man.
