Proverbs

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. ²⁰Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and the eyes of man are never satisfied. ²¹The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, and a man is tried by his praise.
