Proverbs 25:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹² Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold
    is a wise rebuke to a listening ear.
¹³ Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest
    are faithful messengers to those who send them;
    they refresh the spirit of their masters.
¹⁴ Like clouds and wind without rain
    is one who boasts of a gift never given.
