Proverbs 25:13 Context
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. 15By long forbearing is a Prince perswaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
