17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
18 Whosoever keeps the fig tree shall eat its fruit: so he that waits on his master shall be honored.
19 As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man to man.
20 Sheol and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man judged by his praise.
22 Though you should crush a fool in a mortar among grain with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, and look well to your herds.
