Proverbs 25:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ Words spoken at the right time
    are like gold apples in a silver setting.
¹² Wise correction to an ear that listens
    is like a gold earring or jewelry of fine gold.

¹³ Like the coolness of snow on a harvest day
    are reliable messengers to those who send them;
    they restore the life of their master.
