“It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.”
Proverbs 25:24 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 25:24
Better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than share a house with a contentious woman. The Hebrew 'pinnah gag' (corner of roof) and 'midyanim' (contentions/strife) create stark contrast. Small uncomfortable space alone beats spacious house with constant conflict. Peace is more valuable than comfort; tranquility than luxury. This applies to all contentious relationships - peaceful poverty beats prosperous strife. Choose relationships wisely; chronic conflict destroys quality of life.
