Proverbs 25: 11-14 (NLT)

11″Timely advice is lovely,

    like golden apples in a silver basket.

12 To one who listens, valid criticism

    is like a gold earring or other gold jewelry.

13 Trustworthy messengers refresh like snow in summer.

    They revive the spirit of their employer.

14 A person who promises a gift but doesn’t give it

    is like clouds and wind that bring no rain.”
