Proverbs 27:16

to restrain her is to restrain the wind

or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.

restraining her is like restraining the wind

or grasping oil with the hand.

the one who controls her controls the wind

and grasps oil with his right hand.

Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind

or trying to hold something with greased hands.

In restraining her, he restrains wind,

and his right hand will grasp oil.

Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind,

And the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
