Proverbs 27:16
American Standard Translation
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge [that is surety] for a foreign woman.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, It shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike:
16 He that would restrain her restraineth the wind; And his right hand encountereth oil.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; And he that regardeth his master shall be honored.
19 As in water face [answereth] to face, So the heart of man to man.
