Proverbs 27:15

King James 2000

A continual dripping on 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 dripping.

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

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

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

Whosoever restrains her restrains the wind, or grasps oil with his right hand.
