Proverbs 27:15-22
A nagging wife is like the dripping
of a leaky roof in a rainstorm.
Stopping her is like trying to stop the wind.
It’s like trying to grab olive oil with your hand.
As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
A person who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit.
And a person who protects their master will be honored.
When you look into water, you see a likeness of your face.
When you look into your heart, you see what you are really like.
Death and the Grave are never satisfied.
People’s eyes are never satisfied either.
Fire tests silver, and heat tests gold.
But people are tested by the praise they receive.
Suppose you could grind a foolish person in a mill.
Suppose you could grind them as you would grind grain with a tool.
Even then you could not remove their foolishness from them.
