Proverbs 25:11-15
-
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.
-
14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
-
15 By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
