Proverbs 27:14-17
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 27

14One who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be considered a curse to him. 15A constant dripping on a day of steady rain And a contentious woman are alike; 16He who would restrain her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand. 17 As iron sharpens iron, So one person sharpens another.
King James Version

Chapter 27

14He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 27

14If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted as a curse to him. 15An endless dripping on a rainy day and a nagging wife are alike;
16the one who controls her controls the wind and grasps oil with his right hand.
17Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens another.
New Living Translation

Chapter 27

14A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning will be taken as a curse!
15A quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping on a rainy day. 16Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind or trying to hold something with greased hands.
17As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
English Standard Version

Chapter 27

14Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing. 15 A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike; 16to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp oil in one 's right hand. 17Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
New International Version

Chapter 27

14If anyone loudly blesses their neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse. 15A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
16restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.
17As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
New King James Version

Chapter 27

14He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, It will be counted a curse to him. 15A continual dripping on a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike; 16Whoever restrains her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand. 17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
