¹³ A calamity to his father `is' a foolish son, And the contentions of a wife `are' a continual dropping.

¹⁹ Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than `with' a woman of contentions and anger.

²⁴ Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than `with' a woman of contentions, and a house of company.

⁴ A virtuous woman `is' a crown to her husband, And as rottenness in his bones `is' one causing shame.

¹⁷ Better `is' an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.

¹⁵ A continual dropping in a day of rain, And a woman of contentions are alike,

¹⁶ Whoso is hiding her hath hidden the wind, And the ointment of his right hand calleth out.

¹ Better `is' a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house full of the sacrifices of strife.
