Proverbs 25:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 A word spoken in his place, is like apples of gold with pictures of silver.
12 He that reproveth the wise and the obedient ear, is as a golden earring, and an ornament of fine gold.
13 As the cold of the snow [a]in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
