Verse 15

15. A continual dropping… rainy day A pouring rain. The word occurs only here. “In a winter’s day, or a stormy day.” Septuagint. “In a day of cold.” Vulgate. “Such rains as we have had thoroughly soak through the earthen roots of these mountain houses, and the water descends in numberless leaks all over the room. This continual dropping tuk, tuk all day and all night, is the most annoying thing in the world, unless it be the ceaseless clatter of a contentious woman.” THOMSON, Land and Book, ii, p. 453. “He is in an ill case the roof of whose house is so ruinous that in a very rainy day, when he shall be wet if he go abroad, he cannot be dry at home; and he is no better that hath a scolding wife, who torments him if he stay at home, and makes him tormented with jeers if he go abroad.” Patrick. Comp. Proverbs 19:13.
