Apples of gold in a setting of silver
is a matter spoken at its proper time.
A ring of gold and an ornament of fine gold
is a rebuke of the wise to the ear of a listener.
Like the cold of snow on a day of harvest
is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
and the soul of his master is refreshed.

KJV 1900King James Version
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 upon 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 refresheth the soul of his masters.
