PROVERBS 21:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.”
Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and angry wife—similar to 21:9 but specifying that the wife's anger compounds the problem; marital discord with an angry partner is worse than solitude. The desert (midbar) is portrayed as preferable to domestic conflict. The theological significance involves the seriousness of marital harmony as a condition for flourishing.
