(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)
2 Euery way of a man is right in his owne eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.
3 To doe iustice and iudgement, is more acceptable to the Lord, then sacrifice.
4 An high looke, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sinne.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue, is a vanitie tossed to and fro of them that seeke death.
7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to doe iudgement.
8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure; his worke is right.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the house top; then with a brawling woman in a wide house.
10 The soule of the wicked desireth euill: his neighbour findeth no fauour in his eyes.
14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger; and a reward in the bosome, strong wrath.
15 It is ioy to the iust to doe iudgement: but destruction shalbe to the workers of iniquitie.
17 He that loueth pleasure, shall be a poore man: hee that loueth wine and oyle, shall not be rich.
18 The wicked shalbe a ransome for the righteous; and the transgressour for the vpright.
19 It is better to dwell in the wildernesse, then with a contentious and an angry woman.
21 Hee that followeth after righteousnesse and mercy, findeth life, righteousnesse and honour.
23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soule from troubles.
24 Proud and haughtie scorner, is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
25 The desire of the slouthfull killeth him: for his hands refuse to labour.
26 Hee coueteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giueth and spareth not.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked minde?
28 A false witnesse shall perish: but the man that heareth, speaketh constantly.
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the vpright, he directeth his way.
30 There is no wisedome, nor vnderstanding, nor counsell against the Lord.
31 The horse is prepared against the day of battell: but safetie is of the Lord.

X1134x's Proverbs Chapter 21 comment about verse 19 on 6/04/2013, 7:47pm...
I'm cracking up laughing at how TRUE this statement is, yet simultaneously crying because of how true it is in *my* life now.
I'm wondering if I can handle being married to this woman for the rest of my life, and the bible is telling me that ANY life, even one where I shun ALL shelter, food, society, and modern conveniences while having to scratch and hunt for basic sustenance would be better for me, and I'd be happier.
Jerry awuku mathias's Proverbs Chapter 21 comment on 5/21/2013, 11:43am...
i have come to know now the reason i fail in some things that i do,simply because of ignorance. proverb 21;16 make me understood that, THE THAT WANDERETH OUT UNUNDERSTADING SHALL IN THE CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD. i have been attending church for all this while without understanding what i a doing, what i know is to go church every sunday, and it became a ritual to me. i thought going to church alone is worshiping GOD which i wrong but living by every single word of the Lord.you cant worship God without knowig HIM, SO KNOW ABOUT HIM THROUGH THE BIBLE.THANKS
Johanna's Proverbs Chapter 21 comment about verse 19 on 4/10/2013, 9:15pm...
The Word of God is indeed true. As said in Proverbs 21:19 'It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman", this is happening in my life. For all you know, I am like this, but when I heard and understood what is meant by this passage, I realized how I affected the people around me, most especially my husband because he has learned my ways and I felt sad because of what I did. My husband is a peaceful and quiet man, until he learned to be like me, a quarrelsome, debating guy, who keeps to discussing issues with me. I realized, its because of what I did. I told GOD in my solitude how regretful I was of my sin and promised not to be contentious and vexing wife.
I hope you learned something with my story.
Curtis's Proverbs Chapter 21 comment about verse 9 on 2/16/2013, 10:15pm...
How can you live with a spouse that’s always hateful every time. You try to talk nicely, I’m trying to be a light leading by example talk about God. God it seems like we have nothing in common.
Salomão's Proverbs Chapter 21 comment about verse 1 on 2/15/2013, 11:55pm...
King Solomon was guided by the Lord in the beginning of his kingdom, but as the time went his heart became wicked. This is true for all people that our hearts change with time, let’s pray so that our hearts may remain faithful to God and to Jesus our Lord. Watch and pray!
Timothy Wayne George's Proverbs Chapter 21 comment about verse 19 on 1/21/2013, 8:11am...
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with an angry, and contentious woman. The question is what makes a woman angry, and contentious? Solomon knew a lot about women, because he had many wives. Jesus commanded husbands to love their wives, as their own bodies. No one will harm his own body, but instead will care for it, as well as provide what it needs. A woman responds positively to love, and will not be contentious or angry with her husband when she can see that he loves her sincerely. So love your wife as Christ loves the Church, and gave His body for it.
Samuel adeyemi's Proverbs Chapter 21 comment about verse 19 on 12/17/2012, 10:55am...
This verse is simply advising man to be separated from a contentious and fretful wife whose character can provoke the man to sin and cause him to miss salvation.
