Proverbs 27:13-17 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

13. Take the coat of one who puts up money for what a stranger owes. Hold it until you get paid back if he does it for a woman who commits adultery.

14. Suppose you loudly bless your neighbor early in the morning. Then you might as well be calling down a curse on him.

15. A nagging wife is like dripping that never stops on a rainy day.

16. Stopping her is like trying to stop the wind. It's like trying to grab oil with your hand.

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