Proverbs 27:17-19

New Living Translation

¹⁷ As iron sharpens iron,
    so a friend sharpens a friend.

¹⁸ As workers who tend a fig tree are allowed to eat the fruit,
    so workers who protect their employer’s interests will be rewarded.

¹⁹ As a face is reflected in water,
    so the heart reflects the real person.
