Proverbs 27:19 Context
17Iron sharpeneth iron: so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 18Whoso keepeth the figtree, shall eate the fruit therof: so he that waiteth on his master, shall be honoured. 19As in water face answereth to face: so the heart of man to man. 20Hell and destruction are neuer full: so the eyes of man are neuer satisfied. 21As the fining pot for siluer, and the furnace for gold: so is a man to his praise.
