18. Whoever tends the fig tree shall eat its fruit.He who looks after his master shall be honoured.
19. Like water reflects a face,so a man’s heart reflects the man.
20. Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied;and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
21. The crucible is for silver,and the furnace for gold;but man is refined by his praise.
22. Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain,yet his foolishness will not be removed from him.
23. Know well the state of your flocks,and pay attention to your herds:
24. for riches are not forever,nor does the crown endure to all generations.
