Proverbs 25:11-15

¹¹Apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in the right situation.

¹²A gold ring or jewelry made of fine gold is a wise rebuke to a listening ear.

¹³Like the cold of snow at harvest time is a faithful messenger for those who sent him; he brings back the life of his masters.

¹⁴Clouds and wind without rain is the one who boasts about a gift he does not give.

¹⁵With patience a ruler can be persuaded and a soft tongue can break a bone.
