13  ^tA foolish son is ruin to his father,

and ^ua wife’s quarreling is ^va continual dripping of rain.

9  It is ⁿbetter to live in a corner of the housetop

than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

19  It is ^wbetter to live in a desert land

than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.

24  ^mIt is better to live in a corner of the housetop

than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

15  ^qA continual dripping on a rainy day

and a quarrelsome wife are alike;

16  to restrain her is to restrain the wind

or to grasp¹ oil in one’s right hand.
