In context

15 A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—

16 restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.

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

18 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.

19 As water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the true man.

20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

21 A crucible for silver and a furnace for gold, but a man is tested by the praise accorded him.
