<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp oil in ones right hand.
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who guards his master will be honored.

19. As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man.
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
20. Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and never satisfied are the eyes of man.
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
21. The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and a man is tested by his praise.

25. When the grass is gone and the new growth appears and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
<a id="26" name="26"></a>

27. There will be enough goats milk for your food, for the food of your household and maintenance for your girls.
