Mithali 21:19
Proverbs 21:19 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Ni afadhali kuishi jangwani kuliko kuishi na mke mgomvi na mkorofi.
Proverbs 21:19 in English
Proverbs 21:19 · Berean Standard Bible
Better to live in the desert than with a contentious and ill-tempered wife.
Context
17Mtu apendaye anasa atakuwa maskini,
yeyote apendaye mvinyo na mafuta kamwe hatakuwa tajiri. 18Waovu huwa fidia kwa ajili ya wenye haki,
nao wasio waaminifu kwa ajili ya wanyofu. 19Ni afadhali kuishi jangwani
kuliko kuishi na mke mgomvi na mkorofi. 20Katika nyumba ya mwenye hekima
kuna akiba ya vyakula vizuri na mafuta,
lakini mtu mpumbavu
hutafuna vyote alivyo navyo. 21Yeye afuatiaye haki na upendo
hupata uzima, mafanikio na heshima.
