ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૫:૨૪
કજિયાખોર સ્ત્રીની સાથે વિશાળ ઘરમાં રહેવું, તે કરતાં અગાશીના ખૂણામાં રહેવું સારું છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २५:२४
लम्बे चौड़े घर में झगड़ालू पत्नी के संग रहने से छत के कोने पर रहना उत्तम है।

In context

22for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

23The north wind produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.

24It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.

25Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

26Like a muddied spring and a polluted well, so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
