Proverbs 25:24 meaning and explanation
Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
Proverbs 25:24, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This verse belongs to the collected proverbs of Solomon copied by King Hezekiah’s men, a series of comparisons about wisdom for ordinary life. Here the wise observer uses hyperbole: a flat roof’s corner was a real, if exposed, place to sleep, and the point is that a small, uncomfortable space is preferable to a comfortable home made miserable by constant quarreling.
