Proverbs 21:18-22

The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous is in the place of the upright.

It is better to live in a desert land Than with a contentious and irritating woman.

There is precious treasure and oil in the home of the wise, But a foolish person swallows it up.

One who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

A wise person scales the city of the mighty And brings down the stronghold in which they trust.
