Proverbs 27:18-20
New Century Version
18 Whoever tends a fig tree gets to eat its fruit,
and whoever takes care of his master will receive honor.
19 As water reflects your face,
so your mind shows what kind of person you are.
20 People will never stop dying and being destroyed,
and they will never stop wanting more than they have.
Proverbs 27:18-20
New International Version
18 The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,(A)
and whoever protects their master will be honored.(B)
19 As water reflects the face,
so one’s life reflects the heart.[a]
