American Standard Version
"A continual dropping in a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike: "
— Proverbs 27:15, American Standard Version
“A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.”
“A continual dropping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike:”
“A continual dripping on a rainy day– a contentious wife makes herself like that.”
“Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.”
“Like an unending dropping on a day of rain is a bitter-tongued woman.”
“A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.”
A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; Butthe simple pass on, and suffer for it.
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for a foreign woman.
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, It shall be counted a curse to him.
A continual dropping in a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike:
He that would restrain her restraineth the wind; And his right hand encountereth oil.
Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; And he that regardeth his master shall be honored.
