Proverbs 27:14-20 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

14. He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.

15. Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.

16. He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand.

17. Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

18. He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eat the fruit thereof: and he that is the keeper of his master, shall be glorified.

19. As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.

20. Hell and destruction are never filled: so the eyes of men are never satisfied.
