Proverbs 25:11-13
Authorized (King James) Version
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.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,
so is a faithful messenger to them that send him:
for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
