Proverbs 27:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Can you catch the wind? Can you hold oil in your hand?
    No! And you cannot keep that woman quiet.
¹⁷ People learn from each other,
    as one iron tool can make another one sharp.
¹⁸ If you take care of a fig tree, it will give you fruit to eat.
    If you take care of your master, he will give you honour.
