Proverbs 25:11-13

New Century Version

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

¹² A wise warning to someone who will listen
    is as valuable as gold earrings or fine gold jewelry.

¹³ Trustworthy messengers refresh those who send them,
    like the coolness of snow in the summertime.
