Proverbs 27:17-22

Mutual Refinement and Human Nature

Proverbs 27:17-22
17
Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18
He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eat the fruit thereof: and he that is the keeper of his master, shall be glorified.
19
As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.
20
Hell and destruction are never filled: so the eyes of men are never satisfied.
21
As silver is tried in the fining-pot, and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.
22
Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.
