Proverbs 27:16

¹⁴ If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse.

¹⁵ A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—

restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.

¹⁷ As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

¹⁸ Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
