Proverbs 25:12
Compare all
10 Lest he who hears it expose your shame,
And1 your reputation be ruined. 
11 A word fitly aspoken is like apples of gold
In settings of silver. 
12 Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold
Is a wise rebuker to an obedient ear.
13 aLike the cold of snow in time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
For he refreshes the soul of his masters. 
14 aWhoever falsely boasts of giving
Is like bclouds and wind without rain.

Proverbs 25:12

The theme of this proverb being the same as that of Proverbs 25:11, its occurrence suggests the thought that rings used as ornaments for ears, or nose, or forehead, and other trinkets formed part of the works of art spoken of in the foregoing note, and that the king had something at once pointed and wise to say of each of them.
