Proverbs 25:13 - John Wesley's Notes

Proverbs 25:13

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.

15 ^aBy long forbearance a ruler is persuaded,
And a gentle tongue breaks a bone.
