Proverbs 27:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ A continual dripping on a rainy day
    and a contentious wife are alike.
¹⁶ Trying to keep her in check is like stopping a wind storm
    or grabbing oil with your right hand.

¹⁷ Iron sharpens iron;
    so a man sharpens a friend’s character.^[a]
