Proverbs 27:16-18
American Standard Version
16 He that would [a]restrain her [b]restraineth the wind;
And [c]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.
