“In A Corner"
Blessings folk!
Quarrelsome.
Contention.
Belittling.
Undermining.
Course jesting.
Nagging.
Such are not the way of the true Believer.
The Proverbs speaks to such…in a very direct way…
Pro 21:9
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
ESV
Pro 21:9
It’s better to live alone in the corner of an attic
than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.
NLT
Pro 21:9
Better to live on the corner of a roof
than to share a house with a nagging wife.
CSB
Pro 21:9
It is better to live in a corner of a roof
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
NASB95
Be reminded of what we have seen…
Pro 19:13
A foolish son is ruin to his father,
and a wife’s quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.
ESV
Pro 15:17
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is
than a fattened ox and hatred with it.
ESV
Pro 17:1
Better is a dry morsel with quiet
than a house full of feasting with strife.
ESV
We will see more…
Pro 21:19
It is better to live in a desert land
than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.
ESV
Pro 25:24
It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
ESV
Pro 27:15-16
A continual dripping on a rainy day
and a quarrelsome wife are alike;
to restrain her is to restrain the wind
or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.
ESV
Take yourself before the Lord.
Allow His loving examination and revelation.
Are you a continual drip?
Do as He reveals and instructs.
