This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_21:19 [It is] better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
Ver. 19. It is better to dwell in the wilderness.] Among ravenous beasts and venomous serpents, in greatest danger, and want of all necessary accommodation. This is so much worse than the housetop, as an angry and vexatious woman - which, like a mad dog, bites all about her, and makes them as mad as herself - is worse than her that is not so much angry as unquiet, brawling (as dogs bark sometimes in the night) of custom or fancy, and not provoked by any. {See Trapp on "Pro_21:9"}
