It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 21 of Proverbs. Disordered love of pleasure and luxury can lead to poverty, while diligent work promotes stability. The proverbs also present the righteous being delivered from the wicked and emphasize the importance of guarding one’s mouth. The connection between words and security appears again: whoever watches his tongue avoids many difficulties that could not have been solved through strength or wealth.

Es ist besser, wohnen im wüsten Lande denn bei einem zänkischen und zornigen Weibe.
Mejor es morar en tierra del desierto, Que con la mujer rencillosa e iracunda.
Mieux vaut habiter dans une terre déserte, Qu'avec une femme querelleuse et irritable.
Meglio è abitare in terra deserta, Che con una moglie rissosa e stizzosa
É melhor morar numa terra deserta do que com a mulher rixosa e irritadiça.
寧可住在曠野之地, 也不與爭吵易怒的婦人同住。
