Proverbs 25:10-12
Authorized (King James) Version

10 lest he that heareth it put thee to shame,
and thine infamy turn not away.

11 A word fitly spoken
is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,
so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
