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.
