Proverbs 25:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹The right ruling at the right time
is like golden apples in silver jewelry.

¹²A wise judge’s warning to a listening ear
is like a gold earring or jewelry made of fine gold.

¹³A messenger trusted by the one who sends him
is like a drink cooled by snow at harvest time.
He renews the spirit of his master.

Proverbs 25:11-13

King James Version

¹¹A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

¹²As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

¹³As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
