Proverbs 27:15 in context

  1. 13Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger.
    Hold it for a wayward woman!
  2. 14He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning,
    it will be taken as a curse by him.
  3. 15A continual dropping on a rainy day
    and a contentious wife are alike:
  4. 16restraining her is like restraining the wind,
    or like grasping oil in his right hand.
  5. 17Iron sharpens iron;
    so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance.
