Proverbs 25:12

In context

10or whoever hears it will shame you, and the bad report about you will never go away. 11Apples of gold in settings of silver—that is a word spoken at the right turn. 12A gold ring, an ornament of fine gold—that is a wise reprover to a listening ear. 13Like the cold of snow at harvest time is a faithful messenger to those who send him; he brings his master’s spirit back to life. 14Clouds and wind and no rain—that is a man who boasts of a gift he never gives.
