¹³ A foolish son is a disaster to his father;
    a contentious wife is like constant dripping.

⁹ Better to live on the edge of a roof
    than with a contentious woman in a large house.

¹⁹ Better to live in a wilderness
    than in a house with a contentious and angry woman.

²⁴ Better to live on the edge of a roof
    than to share a house with a contentious woman.

¹⁵ The constant dripping on a rainy day
    and a contentious woman are alike;
¹⁶         anyone who can control her
        can control the wind
        or pick up oil in his hand.
