THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Proverbs 25:13 in context

Proverbs 25:10–16

lest one who hears it put you to shame,

and your bad reputation never depart.

A word fitly spoken

is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,

so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.

Selected verse

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,

so is a faithful messenger to those who send him;

for he refreshes the soul of his masters.

As clouds and wind without rain,

so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.

By patience a ruler is persuaded.

A soft tongue breaks the bone.

Have you found honey?

Eat as much as is sufficient for you,

lest you eat too much, and vomit it.
