Proverbs 27:15-21

¹⁵A continual dropping in a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike:

¹⁶He that would restrain her restraineth the wind; And his right hand encountereth oil.

¹⁷Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

¹⁸Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; And he that regardeth his master shall be honored.

¹⁹As in water face answereth to face, So the heart of man to man.

²⁰Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; And the eyes of man are never satisfied.

²¹The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold; And a man is tried by his praise.
