14. He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,It will be counted a curse to him.
15. A continual dripping on a very rainy dayAnd a contentious woman are alike;
16. Whoever restrains her restrains the wind,And grasps oil with his right hand.
17. As iron sharpens iron,So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
18. Whoever keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;So he who waits on his master will be honored.
19. As in water face reflects face,So a man’s heart reveals the man.
