Proverbs 27:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

15 A continual dripping on a rainy day
    and a contentious wife are alike;(A)
16 to restrain her is to restrain the wind
    or to grasp oil in the right hand.[a]
17 Iron sharpens iron,
    and one person sharpens the wits[b] of another.
