18 The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit,

and whoever protects their master will be honored.

19 As water reflects the face,

so one’s life reflects the heart.

20 Death and Destruction are never satisfied,

and neither are human eyes.

18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof:

So he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

19 As in water face answereth to face,

So the heart of man to man.

20 Hell and destruction are never full;

So the eyes of man are never satisfied.

18 As workers who tend a fig tree are allowed to eat the fruit,

so workers who protect their employer’s interests will be rewarded.

19 As a face is reflected in water,

so the heart reflects the real person.

20 Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied,

so human desire is never satisfied.

18 Whoever keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;

So he who waits on his master will be honored.

19 As in water face reflects face,

So a man’s heart reveals the man.

20 Hell and Destruction are never full;

So the eyes of man are never satisfied.

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.

18 Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof;

And he that regardeth his master shall be honored.

19 As in water face answereth to face,

So the heart of man to man.

20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied;

And the eyes of man are never satisfied.

18 Whoso keepeth the fig-tree shall eat the fruit thereof; and he that guardeth his master shall be honoured.

19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

20 Sheol and destruction are insatiable; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

18 Whoever takes care of a fig tree can eat its fruit, 

and whoever protects his master is honored. 

19 As a face is reflected in water, 

so a person is reflected by his heart. 

20 Hell and decay are never satisfied, 

and a person’s eyes are never satisfied. 

18 Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,

and whoever looks after his master will be honored.

19 As water reflects the face,

so the heart reflects the person.

20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,

and people’s eyes are never satisfied.

18 Anyone who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,

and anyone who takes care of a master will be honored.

19 Just as water reflects the face,

so one human heart reflects another.

20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,

and human eyes are never satisfied.

18 He who tends a fig tree will eat its fruit,

and he who guards his master will be honored.

19 As the waters reflect face to face,

so the heart of a person reflects the person.

20 Sheol and Abaddon will not be satisfied,

and the eyes of a person will not be satisfied either.

18 A person who takes good care of a fig tree will eat its fruit.

And a person who looks after his master will be honored.

19 When you look into water, you see a likeness of your face.

When you look into your heart, you see what you are really like.

20 Death and the Grave are never satisfied.

A man’s eyes are never satisfied either.

18 He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit,

And he who cares for his master will be honored.

19 As in water face reflects face,

So the heart of man reflects man.

20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,

Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied.
