Proverbs 27:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 If someone blesses his neighbor at dawn with a loud voice,
it will be reckoned to him as a curse.[a]
15 A constant dripping on a rainy day
is much like a nagging wife;[b]
16 one might as well try to restrain the wind as to control her,
or to pick up oil with one’s fingers.
