The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.

A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
