Proverbs 25:12-14

Revised Standard Version

¹² Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold
    is a wise reprover to a listening ear.
¹³ Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
    is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
    he refreshes the spirit of his masters.
¹⁴ Like clouds and wind without rain
    is a man who boasts of a gift he does not give.
