<p>Here, as before, Solomon laments the case of him that has a peevish passionate wife, that is continually chiding, and making herself and all about her uneasy. 1. It is a grievance that there is no avoiding, for it is like <i>a continual dropping in a very rainy day</i>. The contentions of a neighbour may be like a sharp shower, troublesome for the time, yet, while it lasts, one may take shelter; but <i>the contentions of a wife</i> are like a constant soaking rain, for which there is no remedy but patience See <a class="bibleref" title="Prov.19.13" href="/passage/?search=Prov.19.13">Prov. 19:13</a>. 2. It is a grievance that there is no concealing. A wise man would hide it if he could, for the sake both of his own and his wifes reputation, but he cannot, any more than he can conceal the noise of the wind when it blows or the smell of a strong perfume. Those that are froward and brawling will proclaim their own shame, even when their friends, in kindness to them, would cover it.</p>
