Proverbs 25:11 Context
9Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himselfe; and discouer not a secret to another: 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.
