Proverbs 27:16 BBE

¹⁴  He who gives a blessing to his friend with a loud voice, getting up early in the morning, will have it put to his account as a curse.

¹⁵  Like an unending dropping on a day of rain is a bitter-tongued woman.

¹⁶  He who keeps secret the secret of his friend, will get himself a name for good faith.

¹⁷  Iron makes iron sharp; so a man makes sharp his friend.

¹⁸  Whoever keeps a fig-tree will have its fruit; and the servant waiting on his master will be honoured.
