Proverbs 27:15-17

15 An endless dripping on a rainy day
and a nagging wife are alike.(A)
16 The one who controls her controls the wind
and grasps oil with his right hand.
17 Iron sharpens iron,
and one man sharpens another.[a]

15 A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping(A)
of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
