American King James Version
" A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. "
— Proverbs 25:11, American King James Version
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.”
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest you know not what to do in the end thereof, when your neighbor has put you to shame.
Debate your cause with your neighbor himself; and discover not a secret to another:
Lest he that hears it put you to shame, and your infamy turn not away.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover on an obedient ear.
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
Whoever boasts himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
