Proverbs 27:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Suppose you loudly bless your neighbor early in the morning.
    Then you might as well be cursing him.

¹⁵ A nagging wife is like the dripping
    of a leaky roof in a rainstorm.
¹⁶ Stopping her is like trying to stop the wind.
    It’s like trying to grab olive oil with your hand.
