Proverbs 27:15

American King James Version (1999)

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

See the chapter Copy

The waters wear the stones: you wash away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroy the hope of man.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

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

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

Whoever hides her hides the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which denudes itself.
