15 A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
15 A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike;
15 A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet;
15 A continual dripping on a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike;
15 A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping on a rainy day.
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.
16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
16 to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp
16 You can't turn it off, and you can't get away from it. Your Face Mirrors Your Heart
16 Whoever restrains her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand.
16 Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind or trying to hold something with greased hands.
(Read Proverbs 27:15-16)
The contentions of a neighbour may be like a sharp shower, troublesome for a time; the contentions of a wife are like constant rain.
