Proverbs
Chapters 27:12-18
New International Version Anglicized
12The prudent see danger and take refuge,but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.
13Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.
14If anyone loudly blesses their neighbour early in the morning,it will be taken as a curse.
15A quarrelsome wife is like the drippingof a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
16restraining her is like restraining the windor grasping oil with the hand.
17As iron sharpens iron,so one person sharpens another.
18The one who guards a fig-tree will eat its fruit,and whoever protects their master will be honoured.
