Proverbs 25:13
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear.
Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 Like clouds and wind without rain is the man who boasts of gifts never given.
15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
