Proverbs 27:15-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ A nagging wife is like the dripping
    of a leaky roof in a rainstorm.
¹⁶ Stopping her is like trying to stop the wind.
    It’s like trying to grab olive oil with your hand.

¹⁷ As iron sharpens iron,
    so one person sharpens another.

¹⁸ A person who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit.
    And a person who protects their master will be honored.

¹⁹ When you look into water, you see a likeness of your face.
    When you look into your heart, you see what you are really like.

²⁰ Death and the Grave are never satisfied.
    People’s eyes are never satisfied either.
