Proverbs 27:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 A (A)continual dropping in the day of rain, and a contentious woman are alike.
16 He that hideth her, hideth the wind, and she is as the oil in his right hand that uttereth itself.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron, so doth [a]man sharpen the face of his friend.

Proverbs 27:15-17
New International Version
15 A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping(A)
of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind
or grasping oil with the hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
