Proverbs 25:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ The right word spoken at the right time
    is as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl.

¹² The warning of a wise person is valuable to someone who will listen.
    It is worth as much as gold earrings or fine gold jewelry.

¹³ A trustworthy messenger refreshes those who send him.
    He is like the coolness of snow in the summertime.
