Proverbs 27:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ To try to stop her is like trying to stop the wind, or like trying to catch oil in his right hand.

¹⁷ Iron is made sharp with iron, and one man is made sharp by a friend.

¹⁸ He who cares for the fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who cares for the one he works for will be honored.
