15 A quarrelsome christian is like
a constant dripping on a rainy day;

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Proverbs 27: 15

Proverbs, having been written before Jesus came along, would not refer to Christians. The verse you cite actually compares the constant dripping on a rainy day to complaining women, if memory serves me well.

I think that is "wife or contentious woman."
A true christian is not like constant dripping on a rainy day b/c a true christian will know according to --> Matthew 10:14:
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

15 A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping
of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind
or grasping oil with the hand.

You like constant dripping then? You are like a moth beating itself against a lightbulb. Fascinating.
