Proverbs 27:15

The Scriptures 1998

Drops that never cease on a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike;

See the chapter Copy

as water wears away stones, its out-pouring washes away the soil of the earth – so You have destroyed the expectancy of man.

A foolish son is a calamity to 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 vexed woman.

It is better to dwell in a corner of a roof, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

It is better to dwell in a corner of a roof, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

Whoever represses her represses the wind, And his right hand encounters oil.
