Proverbs 25:12-14

New Century Version

¹² A wise warning to someone who will listen
    is as valuable as gold earrings or fine gold jewelry.

¹³ Trustworthy messengers refresh those who send them,
    like the coolness of snow in the summertime.

¹⁴ People who brag about gifts they never give
    are like clouds and wind that give no rain.
