Proverbs 27:16 in the World English Bible
restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand.
Context
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
