24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
This is the same with what he had said, ch. xxi. 9. Observe, 1. How those are to be pitied that are unequally yoked, especially with such as are brawling and contentious, whether husband or wife; for it is equally true of both. It is better to be alone than to be joined to one who, instead of being a meet-help, is a great hindrance to the comfort of life. 2. How those may sometimes be envied that live in solitude; as they want the comfort of society, so they are free from the vexation of it. And as there are cases which give occasion to say, “Blessed is the womb that has not borne,” so there are which give occasion to say, “Blessed is the man who was never married, but who lies like a servant in a corner of the house-top.“

Pro 25:24
Pro 25:24
“It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.”
This is practically the same proverb as Pro 21:9; Pro 21:19. See our comments there.
Pro 25:24. The same is found, word for word, in Pro 21:9. Pro 21:19 agrees with the conclusion when it says, It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman. Pro 19:13 says, The contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. If there is anything that will get a man or that is obnoxious to a man, it is the nagging and continual harpings of a woman. Moral: Women, dont do it! Girls, dont develop it! Boys, dont marry it! Married men, you have a problem!
