15 Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike. 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 retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand. 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.
