In context
13 Take a man’s garment when he hath become pledge for a stranger, then, for a female unknown, accept him as surety.
14 He that blesseth his friend, with a loud voice, in the morning early, a reproach, shall it be reckoned to him.
15 A continuous dripping on a day of downpour, and a contentious wife, are alike:
16 He that hideth her, hideth the wind, and, perfume, his right hand may proclaim.
17 Let, iron, by iron, become sharp, and let, a man, sharpen the face of his friend.
18 He that guardeth the fig-tree, shall eat the fruit thereof, and, he that watcheth over his master, shall be honoured.
19 As in water, face [answereth] to face, so, the heart of man to man.
