A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
The steady dripping on a very rainy day pictures a steady dropping of words deliberately calculated to excite a person's mind and unsettle it. Just as the drip falls again and again without pause, so those repeated words work upon the mind until it is kept in a confused state. While held in that confusion a man is shut out from God's special blessing upon his labors. That blessing returns only when he takes a decided stand for God's teachings.
