Proverbs 25:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold
is a wise rebuke to a listening ear.(A)
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.(B)
14 Like clouds and wind without rain
is one who boasts of a gift never given.(C)
Proverbs 25:12-14
New International Version
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold
is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.(A)
13 Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest time
is a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him;
he refreshes the spirit of his master.(B)
14 Like clouds and wind without rain
is one who boasts of gifts never given.
