Proverbs 27:14-16

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁴ When someone blesses his neighbor in a loud voice early in the morning,
    it will be regarded as a curse.
¹⁵ Constantly dripping water on a rainy day
and a nagging wife are alike.
¹⁶ Trying to hold her back is like holding back the wind,
like grasping oil with your right hand.^[a]
