14. The flatterer who loudly praises and glorifies his neighbor, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted as cursing him [for he will be suspected of sinister purposes].
15. A continual dripping on a day of violent showers and a contentious woman are alike; [Prov. 19:13.]
16. Whoever attempts to restrain [a contentious woman] might as well try to stop the wind–his right hand encounters oil [and she slips through his fingers].
17. Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend [to show rage or worthy purpose].
18. Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit; so he who patiently and faithfully guards and heeds his master shall be honored. [I Cor. 9:7, 13.]
19. As in water face answers to and reflects face, so the heart of man to man.
