In the light of the king's face there is life; and his approval is like a cloud of spring rain.

A foolish son is the destruction of his father; and the bitter arguments of a wife are like drops of rain falling without end.

As clouds and wind without rain, so is one who takes credit for an offering he has not given.

As the north wind gives birth to rain, so is an angry face caused by a tongue saying evil secretly.

Like snow in summer and rain when the grain is being cut, so honour is not natural for the foolish.

Like an unending dropping on a day of rain is a bitter-tongued woman.

A man of wealth who is cruel to the poor is like a violent rain causing destruction of food.
