Berean Standard Bible
Proverbs 27:17
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
In context
15A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—
16Restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.
17As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
18Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who looks after his master will be honored.
19As water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the true man.
