Pr. 19:13• 13Dolor es para su padre el hijo necio; Y gotera continua las contiendas de la mujer. (Pr. 19:13)
;
Pr. 21:9,19• 9Mejor es vivir en un rincón de zaquizamí. Que con la mujer rencillosa en espaciosa casa.
 19Mejor es morar en tierra del desierto, Que con la mujer rencillosa é iracunda. (Pr. 21:9,19)
;
Pr. 27:15‑16• 15Gotera continua en tiempo de lluvia, Y la mujer rencillosa, son semejantes:
 16El que pretende contenerla, arresta el viento: O el aceite en su mano derecha. (Pr. 27:15‑16)
• This is a repetition of Proverbs 21:9. It is not by mere chance that the words are repeated, nor that several times the wretchedness of dwelling with an insubject and contentious woman is referred to. God has established an order in creation which is not broken with impunity. See Ephesians 5:22-24. (“Proverbs Twenty-Five” by H.A. Ironside)
