A never-ending dripping on a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike (Proverbs 27:15).

I set my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness; And what I find more bitter than death is the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands are like fetters. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her, but the sinner shall be taken by her (Ecclesiastes 7:25 - 26).

World's Wit and Wisdom
After three days men grow
