19. It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.
20. There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swalloweth it up.
21. He that followeth after righteousness and kindness Findeth life, righteousness, and honor.
22. A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof.
23. Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.
