Proverbs 27:16 | |
NASB: He who would restrain her restrains the wind, And grasps oil with his right hand. (NASB ©1995) GWT: Whoever can control her can control the wind. He can even pick up olive oil with his right hand. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself. ASV: He that would restrain her restraineth the wind; And his right hand encountereth oil. BBE: He who keeps secret the secret of his friend, will get himself a name for good faith. DBY: whosoever will restrain her restraineth the wind, and his right hand encountereth oil. JPS: He that would hide her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand betrayeth itself. WBS: Whoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand which bewrayeth itself. WEB: restraining her is like restraining the wind, or like grasping oil in his right hand. YLT: Whoso is hiding her hath hidden the wind, And the ointment of his right hand calleth out. | |
