Proverbs 25:12-14
Expanded Bible
12 A wise ·warning [correction] to ·someone who will listen [L a listening ear]
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 [L at harvest time].
14 People who brag about gifts they never give
are like clouds and wind that give no rain.
Proverbs 25:12-14

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.
