Proverbs 25:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ To speak a word in due time, is like apples of gold on beds of silver.

¹² As an earring of gold and a bright pearl, so is he that reproveth the wise, and the obedient ear.

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