15 A dropping thrust forth in the day of rain and a woman of strifes were alike. 16 He hiding her, hid the wind, and he shall call the oil of his right hand. 17 Iron will sharpen upon iron; and a man will sharpen the face of his friend. 18 He guarding the fig tree shall eat its fruit: and he watching his lord shall be honored. 19 As in water, face to face, so the heart of man to man. 20 Hades and destruction shall not be satisfied; and the eyes of man shall not be satisfied. 21 The crucible for silver, and the furnace for gold, and a man to the mouth praising him. 22 If thou shalt pound the foolish in a mortar in the midst of the grain with a pestle, thou shalt not remove from him his folly. 23 Knowing, thou shalt know the face of thy flock; set thy heart to thy herds. 24 For not strength forever, and not consecration to generation and generation. 25 The grass was uncovered and the young herbage was seen; and the green plants of the mountains were gathered. 26 Lambs for thy clothing, and the he goats the price of the field. 27 And enough of goats milk for thy bread, and for the bread of thy house, and the life of thy girls.
