It’s better to live alone in the desert
than with a quarrelsome, complaining wife.
20
The wise have wealth and luxury,
but fools spend whatever they get.
21
Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love
will find life, righteousness, and honor.
The first proverb is similar to the one recently. I mentioned that "woman" could be replaced with "spouse." Here's the key point: if the person you're thinking about marrying is always argumentative, that’s a warning sign. Bad habits, like being argumentative, probably won’t change after the wedding.
Verse 20 says that wise people know wealth shouldn’t come between them and God. Wise people can enjoy wealth without it becoming their main focus. Greedy people, however, always want more and waste their lives chasing after money.
Verse 21 tells us that if people pursue goodness and kindness, they’ll live a life filled with honor and righteousness.
Think about this: How much do you have in financial assets? Is it enough, or do you find yourself wanting more? If so, how much more?
