Proverbs 27:14-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

14. Whoever blesses his neighbor with a grand voice, rising in the night, shall be like one who curses.

15. A roof leaking on a cold day, and an argumentative woman, are comparable.

16. He who would restrain her, he is like one who would grasp the wind, or who would gather together oil with his right hand.

17. Iron sharpens iron, and a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

18. Whoever maintains the fig tree shall eat its fruit. And whoever is the keeper of his master shall be glorified.

19. In the manner of faces looking into shining water, so are the hearts of men made manifest to the prudent.
