Proverbs 27:16-18
Authorized (King James) Version
16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind,
and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron;
so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof:
so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
Proverbs 27:16-18
New International Version
16 restraining her is like restraining the wind
or grasping oil with the hand.
17 As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
