Proverbs 27:15 in context

Proverbs 27:12–18

12

A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge;

but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

13

Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger.

Hold it for a wayward woman!

14

He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,

it will be taken as a curse by him.

15
Selected verse

A continual dropping on a rainy day

and a contentious wife are alike:

16

restraining her is like restraining the wind,

or like grasping oil in his right hand.

17

Iron sharpens iron;

so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.

18

Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit.

He who looks after his master shall be honored.
