Proverbs 25:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 25:12

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.
