15 A brawling woman and the roofe of the house dropping in a raynie day, may well be compared together. A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike; A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
16 He that stilleth her, stilleth the winde, and stoppeth the smell of the oyntment in his hande. to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp oil in one’s right hand. restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.
