Proverbs 25:11-15

¶Like apples of gold in settings of silver Is a word spoken at the right time. [Prov 15:23; Is 50:4] Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold Is a wise reprover to an ear that listens and learns. Like the cold of snow [brought from the mountains] in the time of harvest, So is a faithful messenger to those who send him; For he refreshes the life of his masters. Like clouds and wind without rain Is a man who boasts falsely of gifts [he does not give]. [Jude 12] By patience and a calm spirit a ruler may be persuaded, And a soft and gentle tongue breaks the bone [of resistance]. [Gen 32:4; 1 Sam 25:24; Prov 15:1; 16:14]
