Does this mean all women in the long run

King James Bible
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

No. It means what is says. I have known a few people who's wives are/were clearly "brawling" women. They hada a torrid time in their marriages. My wife on the other hand is anything but this

 

[Clintpauljohnson]

This is what I am hoping that my new wife is not brawling. She seems demanding to a reasonable degree but not brawling

Does this mean men should take the higher ground?

Hello Clint,

Proverbs are general truths not absolute nor promises it is all about discernment and timing. Hope that helps!

Hi again,

Scripture always needs to be interpreted by Scripture aka itself. The Bible often explains itself elsewhere so cross referencing verses say on Bible Hub is a good place to start to get a theme or bigger answer. It is really important when trying to understand a passage in Scripture to know what genre it comes from, who is writing, who are they writing to and why? Proverbs are Hebrew poetry so lots of word pictures and parallelism pretty fun and a nice break from historical narrative, blood and gore! Proverbs is written by Solomon the wisest man on earth who ever lived except for Jesus who obviously is much wiser! But yes it is wisdom and they are generally true but it is like any saying or piece of wisdom it needs wisdom to both understand it and to use it in the right situation.

Take care and all the best,
Aimz.

Hello, and welcome to CF!

It is better to live in a humble, small, peaceful way, rather than to share a luxurious dwelling with lots of arguing and tension.

It has much more to do with what is important in life, our spiritual peace and well-being, as opposed to material comfort - than it has to do with a comment about some or all women.

Hi again,

Scripture never contradicts itself because it is guided by the hand of God and God being unchangeable and perfect cannot lie. So, if ever a passage seems to contradict itself somewhere else in Scripture we have to find the whole picture and pray to understand it.

Take care and all the best,
Aimz.

If you mean to supersede in importance ...

Yes, there are, certainly. The Gospels, especially the direct teaching of Christ, are more important than how many were counted of each tribe in a census. With many levels of importance in between.

All Scripture is profitable, but some is of greater importance than others.

If you're worried about this, lol, proverbs also says men are unfaithful. Does that mean all men?

No but what do we do about women's hair being their glory, do we men accept our women cut their hair? Is this like Saudi Arabia allowing women to drive. Is this something that is unmentionable that just is reformed?

Ohhhh .... I did not even understand what you were asking! Sorry.

No, it doesn't mean all women are brawlers.

All people are sinners, broken to some degree, damaged by their sin and the sin of others. Christ came to heal these wounds. As we cooperate with the grace of God, we become more able to relate in Christlike ways with one another. Sometimes this also involves learning better ways, or tools offered by the wisdom of Christianity to help us be changed. Ultimately, if we relate as marriage is meant to be - each person putting the good of the other ahead of their own wants in a sacrificial love, then a beautiful marriage can be formed - an image of Christ and His Church.

But it often takes work, understanding, and the grace of God - on the part of both persons.

God be with you.

My sister is such a brawling woman. Gladly, she is not married.
