12 A sensible person sees danger and takes cover;the inexperienced keep going and are punished.
13 Take his garment, for he has put up security for a stranger;get collateral if it is for foreigners.
14 If one blesses his neighborwith a loud voice early in the morning,it will be counted as a curse to him.
15 An endless dripping on a rainy dayand a nagging wife are alike.
16 The one who controls her controls the windand grasps oil with his right hand.
17 Iron sharpens iron,and one man sharpens another.
18 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever looks after his master will be honored.
