Proverbs 25:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold; highly acceptable, and a great ornament, and not an offence and dishonour, as fools esteem it; so is a wise reprover, that reproves an offender faithfully; yet prudently, in the fittest manner and season. Upon an obedient ear; to a man that hearkens to it, and is instructed and reformed by it.

Proverbs 25:12

12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
