“restraining her is like restraining the wind,or like grasping oil in his right hand.”
Proverbs 27:16 (WEB)
Context Reading
14He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,it will be taken as a curse by him. 15A continual dropping on a rainy dayand a contentious wife are alike: 16restraining her is like restraining the wind,or like grasping oil in his right hand. 17Iron sharpens iron;so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance. 18Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit.He who looks after his master shall be honored.
