Proverbs 27:16 Context
14He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising earely in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. 15A continuall dropping in a very rainie day, and a contentious woman, are alike. 16Whosoeuer hideth her, hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand which be wrayeth it selfe. 17Iron sharpeneth iron: so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 18Whoso keepeth the figtree, shall eate the fruit therof: so he that waiteth on his master, shall be honoured.
