Proverbs 27:15 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Proverbs 27:15

Compare all

13 Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger,
And hold it in pledge when he is surety for a seductress.

14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
It will be counted a curse to him.

15 A ^acontinual dripping on a very rainy day
And a contentious woman are alike;

16 Whoever¹ restrains her restrains the wind,
And grasps oil with his right hand.

17 As iron sharpens iron,
So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

18 ^aWhoever¹ keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;
So he who waits on his master will be honored.
