12 A prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are hurt by it.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger and take a pledge of him that is surety for a strange woman.
14 He that blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dripping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16 Whosoever hides her hides the wind, because the oil in his right hand cries out.
17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
18 Whosoever keeps the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof, so he that waits on his master shall be honoured.
