Proverbs 21:9 and 19 both speak of the difficulties of living with a contentious woman. Both put me in mind of the post-exodus conduct of Israel, when Yahweh’s bride acted like a contentious woman, grumbling about her good Husband’s provision and care. In response, Yahweh threatened to do what the man in Proverbs 21 does - leave the house. Typologically interpreted, these Proverbs are not only warnings to women about being vexing and contentious, but warnings to every member of the Lord’s bride, warnings not to complain lest our Husband leave us to live on the corner of the roof.
