Proverbs 25:9-14

English Standard Version

^11 (B)A word fitly spoken
    is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.
¹² Like ^(C)a gold ring or an ornament of gold
    is a wise reprover to ^(D)a listening ear.
¹³ Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
    is ^(E)a faithful messenger to those who send him;
    he refreshes the soul of his masters.
¹⁴ Like ^(F)clouds and wind without rain
    is a man who ^(G)boasts of a gift he does not give.
