Proverbs 25:12 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

As an ear-ring of gold, &c. That is, highly acceptable, and a great ornament, and not an offence and dishonour, as fools think it; is a wise reprover One who reproves an offender faithfully, and yet prudently, in the fittest manner and season; upon an obedient ear To the man that hearkens to the reproof, and is instructed and reformed by it.
