Proverbs 27:16-18
Evangelical Heritage Version

16 Trying to hold her back is like holding back the wind,
like grasping oil with your right hand.[a]
17 Iron sharpens iron,
and a man sharpens the insight of his friend.
18 A person who tends a fig tree eats its fruit,
and a person who takes care of his master will be honored.
