Proverbs 27:15-21 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

15. Drops that never cease on a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike;

16. Whoever represses her represses the wind, And his right hand encounters oil.

17. Iron is sharpened by iron, And a man sharpens the face of his friend.

18. He who tends the fig tree eats its fruit; And he who guards his master is esteemed.

19. As in water face reflects face, So a man’s heart reflects a man.

20. The grave and destruction are not satisfied; So the eyes of man are not satisfied.

21. A refining pot is for silver and a furnace for gold, So a man is tried by his praise.
