Proverbs 27:15-17
New Catholic Bible
Proverbs 27:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 A constant dripping on a rainy day
is much like a nagging wife;[a]
16 one might as well try to restrain the wind as to control her,
or to pick up oil with one’s fingers.
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so a man sharpens the wits of his neighbor.
