Proverbs 25:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ Like apples of gold inlaid with silver
    are words that are aptly spoken.
¹² Like a gold ring or a necklace of fine gold
    is a wise man’s rebuke to an attentive ear.
¹³ Like the coolness of snow at the time of harvest
    is a faithful messenger to those who dispatch him;
    he revives the spirit of his masters.
