Proverbs 25:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ A word fitly spoken and in due season is like apples of gold in settings of silver.^(A)

¹² Like an earring or nose ring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise reprover to an ear that listens and obeys.

¹³ Like the cold of snow [brought from the mountains] in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the life of his masters.
