14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,It will be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dripping on a very rainy dayAnd a contentious woman are alike;
16 Whoever restrains her restrains the wind,And grasps oil with his right hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoever keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;So he who waits on his master will be honored.
19 As in water face reflects face,So a man’s heart reveals the man.
20 Hell and Destruction are never full;So the eyes of man are never satisfied.
