Proverbs 25:12 Context
10Lest he that heareth it, put thee to shame, and thine infamie turne not away. 11A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of siluer. 12As an eare-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprouer vpon an obedient eare. 13As the cold of snow in the time of haruest, so is a faithfull messenger to them that send him: for hee refresheth the soule of his masters. 14Who so boasteth himselfe of a false gift, is like cloudes and winde without raine.
