Proverbs

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 neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse. ¹⁵A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm; ¹⁶restraining her is like restraining the wind or 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 honored. ¹⁹As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.
