    and the quarreling of a woman^[a] is a continuous dripping.

¹⁹ Better to live in a land of wilderness
    than with a wife of quarrels and provocation.

²⁴ Better to live upon the corner of a roof
    than with a woman^[a] of contention and in a shared house.

¹⁵ Dripping constantly on a day of heavy rain
    and a woman^[a] of contention are alike.
¹⁶ In restraining her, he restrains wind,^[b]
    and his right hand will grasp oil^[c].
