Proverbs 25:11-13

¹¹As a golden apple in a necklace of sardius, so is it to speak a wise word.

¹²In an ear-ring of gold a precious sardius is also set; so is a wise word to an obedient ear.

¹³As a fall of snow in the time of harvest is good against heat, so a faithful messenger refreshes those that send him; for he helps the souls of his employers.
