continual, constant, pursuing (participle used as adjective)
This participial form from the root tarad (pursue, chase) functions adjectivally to describe something continuous or constant. In both Proverbs passages (19:13, 27:15), it modifies "dripping" to create the image of a continuous leak—one drop pursuing another relentlessly. The metaphor depicts a contentious woman as persistently irritating as water dripping without ceasing. The verb root in Arabic means to pursue or prolong, while Aramaic emphasizes continuation. The participial form captures ongoing, uninterrupted action that wears down over time.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Both occurrences in Proverbs create identical metaphors comparing a quarrelsome wife to constant dripping. Proverbs 19:13 pairs this with a foolish son as twin domestic calamities, while 27:15 develops the image further by noting the impossibility of restraining such a woman (like restraining wind). The phrase deleph tored literally means "a dripping that pursues"—each drop chasing the next in unbroken sequence. This continuous quality makes the comparison effective: not a single drip but relentless, unending irritation. Spanish continua and French/German equivalents capture this unceasing quality central to the domestic strife imagery. 2×
