Proverbs 27:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ A friendly discussion is as stimulating as the sparks that fly when iron strikes iron.

¹⁸ A workman may eat from the orchard he tends; anyone should be rewarded who protects another’s interests.

¹⁹ A mirror reflects a man’s face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.
