Proverbs 27:14-16

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ Whoever blesses a neighbor with a loud voice,
    rising early in the morning,
    will be counted as cursing.
¹⁵ A continual dripping on a rainy day
    and a contentious wife are alike;
¹⁶ to restrain her is to restrain the wind
    or to grasp oil in the right hand.^[a]
