Proverbs 27:16-18

16 How can you keep her quiet? Have you ever tried to stop the wind or ever tried to hold a handful of oil?[a]
17 People learn from one another, just as iron sharpens iron.
18 Take care of a fig tree and you will have figs to eat. Servants who take care of their master will be honored.
