Proverbs 27:18

A continual dropping on a rainy day

and a contentious wife are alike:

restraining her is like restraining the wind,

or like grasping oil in his right hand.

Iron sharpens iron;

so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.

Like water reflects a face,

so a man’s heart reflects the man.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied;

and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.

The crucible is for silver,

and the furnace for gold;

but man is refined by his praise.
