Proverbs

¹³Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and hold him in pledge that is surety for a strange woman. ¹⁴He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. 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 waiteth on his master shall be honoured. ¹⁹As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
