Proverbs 27:15

"A continual dropping in a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike: He that would restrain her restraineth the wind; And his right hand encountereth oil."

The last line here is not clear; but some of the translations change it: "As well try to pick up oil in one's fingers."[16] "It is like trying to grab oil with your hand."[17] "To restrain her ... is to grasp oil in one's right hand."[18] One translator did the whole 16th verse over: "The north wind is a harsh wind, but it has an auspicious name."[19] James Moffatt evidently followed the Septuagint here. It reads: "The north wind is sharp, but it is called by name propitious."[20] On Proverbs 27:16, the KJV has this: "Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself."[21] We hope we will be forgiven for the observation that, "The translators have evidently done a lot of guessing here"!
