Proverbs 21:7-9
American Standard Version
7 The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away,
Because they refuse to do justice.
8 The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked;
But as for the pure, his work is [a]right.
9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,
Than with a contentious woman in [b]a wide house.
