Proverbs 25:11-13
American Standard Version
11 A word [a]fitly spoken
Is like apples of gold in network of silver.
12 As [b]an ear-ring 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.
