Berean Standard Bible

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”

Proverbs 25:11

Save as image

Study note

Proverbs 25 begins a collection that the book says was copied out by scribes of King Hezekiah, so it preserves older Solomonic sayings. Many of them use vivid comparisons from daily life and craftsmanship.
