Proverbs 27:15-16

ESV

NIV

15 A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike;
15 A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
16 to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.
