17. Iron sharpens iron,so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
18. Whoever keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;so he who waits on his master will be honored.
19. As in water face answers to face,so the heart of man to man.
20. Death and destruction are never full;so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21. As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold,so is a man to his praise.
22. Though you should grind a fool in a mortaramong wheat with a pestle,yet his foolishness will not depart from him.
