Proverbs 27:17-19
Tree of Life Version
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.
Proverbs 27:17-19
New International Version
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
18 The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,(A)
and whoever protects their master will be honored.(B)
19 As water reflects the face,
so one’s life reflects the heart.[a]
