A continual dropping on a rainy day
and a contentious wife are alike:
A continual dropping on a rainy day
and a contentious wife are alike:
Proverbs 27:12–18
A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;
but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger.
Hold it for a wayward woman!
He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,
it will be taken as a curse by him.
A continual dropping on a rainy day
and a contentious wife are alike:
restraining her is like restraining the wind,
or like grasping oil in his right hand.
Iron sharpens iron;
so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit.
He who looks after his master shall be honored.
