15A continual dripping on a rainy day and a contentious wife are alike;H2956H1812H5464H3117H4079H4066H802H7737

16to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp oil in the right hand.H6845H6845H7307H8081H3225H7121

17Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens the wits of another.H1270H2300H1270H376H2300H6440H7453

26the lambs will provide your clothing, and the goats the price of a field;H3532H3830H6260H4242H7704
