15 Continual dripping on a day of steady rain and a contentious wife are alike—
16 hiding her is like hiding the wind or grasping oil with the right hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron, so a person sharpens the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, whoever takes care of his master will be honored.
19 As water reflects the face, so a person’s heart reflects the person.
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and neither are the eyes of man.
21 A crucible is for silver and a furnace is for gold, but a person is proved by the praise he receives.
